Crank the Knife
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Distance makes my heart to fester
in self-inflicted pain
If I can't face the consequences of my actions
I'll find somebody else to blame
I greet you with a brother's kiss
and crank the knife another…twist
Twisting facts to fit the fabrications of my mind
I find I've crossed the line
No matter what the cost I must be right
I greet you with a brother's kiss
and crank the knife another twist
pointing to things that don't exist
I crank the knife another…
Alone among the ashes of the things
which once defined my life
I hold the match that lit the fire
but you'll never see me take the blame
