Current song lyrics
Have I thanked you for your time?<br />Or will your life go unrewarded <br />Again?<br />Never asking for a dime<br />You just gave all of yourself<br />Until I turned my back on you <br />My friend<br /><br />The powers that be made you a martyr<br />Conspiracy led you to slaughter<br />I tried to control it but as soon as I showed it<br />I was shot down again<br /><br />Once again outnumbered<br />Appreciation slumbered<br />You can ask yourself why<br />But that look in your eye<br />Doesn't pass the test<br />You've been laid to rest my friend<br />Again<br /><br />Tortured artist bears his soul<br />Seems the pressure took its toll<br />Lived a life so punishing<br />Now he keeps the publishing<br /><br />Spilling your guts out to a pad and pen<br />Communication to your silent friend<br /><br />Chorus:<br />Raising the knife<br />To a picture of a life <br />(I once knew)<br />There comes a time<br />Compromising my life <br />(Just won't do)<br />I cannot lie<br />I can't try anymore <br />(To reach you)<br />I just can't fight<br />Raise the knife<br />Raise the knife<br />Cut through<br /><br />I remember once you were the quiet type<br />Content to sit and watch the motions of your life<br />With false sensitivity<br />You cut yourself open so people would adore you<br /><br />They all bought into your contrived sincerity<br />And how you wore your heart and soul right on your sleeve<br />Laughing sarcastically<br />You turned your back on the people who adored you<br /><br />Self-absorbed exhaustion<br />Self-esteem distortion<br />Self-infused extortion<br />Self-serving abortion<br /><br />I'll take the blame for these things that I say<br />'Cause I had the heart and the will and the courage to stay<br />Every day<br />I won't walk away<br /><br />Reading through all the digests you show me<br />I notice the way that you think you control me<br />Doubting my future, you don't even know me<br />But I never walked out on you<br /><br />(Chorus)<br /><br />[Instrumental break]<br /><br />Raising the knife<br />To a picture of a life <br />(I once knew)<br />There comes a time<br />Compromising my life <br />(Just won't do)<br />I cannot lie<br />I can't try anymore <br />(To reach you)<br />I just can't fight<br />Raise the knife<br />And live my life<br />Without you<br /><br />Raising the knife<br />To a picture of a life <br />There comes a time<br />Compromising my life <br />I cannot lie<br />I can't try anymore <br />I just can't fight<br />Raise the knife<br />Raise the knife<br />Raise the knife<br /><br />Raise the knife
