Equus 3

Never have I held the handle of a blade
The way I hold it looking at you
Flip it to the dagger and put it in your hands
And show me you know what to do
Run it underwater and make sure that you cauterize the pupil lookin' at you
The stable's on fire, serrated reflections of I can't help myself
Pain in my heart, go away
till we settle the score, you tried to scatter to the wind
Pain in my heart, go away
It never stops when you say his name
Stops when you say his name again
Tell me you need someone, don't push away
Baby, don't push me away
I'm about to burn a hole inside
Now I got your worry on my mind
If it's eatin' at your soul
And you refuse to let it go
He'll come runnin' back to find
No reflection, no rewind
Pain in my heart, go away
till we settle the score, you tried to scatter to the wind
Pain in my heart, go away
It never stops when you say his name
Stops when you say his name again
Don't you let the spurs dig in
Will the deepest pockets win?
Will it only matter when it comes
And it happens to you?
You can try and blind them all
You can claim your God as fault
But I'll make him shatter when
I'll take an eye for an eye
Pain in my heart, go away
till we settle the score, you tried to scatter to the wind
Pain in my heart, go away
It never stops when you say his name
Stops when you say his name again
till we settle the score, you tried to scatter to the wind
Pain in my heart, go away
It never stops when you say his name
Stops when you say his name again
