Slow Knife

I cast my brother in the lion's den
Pieced back together limb by limb
Distorting scenery in black and relaying truths I never use

Was it once? Was it twice?
Was there light in your eyes?
Out of key with the choir
Come at me with a slow knife

I saw you waving from across the sea
Connecting words with perfect ease
You spit your venom, I bathe in blood
Our free fall fears I split my tongue

Was it once? Was it twice?
Was there light in your eyes?
Out of key with the choir
Come at me with a slow knife

I cast my body in the lion's den
My fear no motive, no sleight of hand
Distorting phrases I can't tongue
The future's humming like I knew it would
Here again I see no end
Dark wave movement
Silver veins of dissonance
Rearranging

Was it once? Was it twice?
Was there light in your eyes?
Out of key with the choir
Come at me with a slow knife
