lyrics

I can get up and out of my bed
Take my knife and place it in my bag
I could track all night and never sleep
Keep my hand within my weapon's reach

I keep my knife to your back
To your back
I keep my knife to your back

After all this time my face is red
After all this walk my feet have bled
After every shadow comes a light
After all this time I think I might
Be ready for a fight

Would you write me off as mad? It could be nothing
But with these dark dreams I've had there could be something to it
Would you strike me down deranged? It could be nothing
But the sprung traps I have made–there could be something to it

Now on this dark night I lay me down
Never once a single creeping sound
Maybe I am easy prey to fear
Nodding off I oh so faintly hear
A knocking on the door
