dagger silverware

from eye of the storm by the garages

/

lyrics

it’s hard to hold onto a knife when you want spooning
hard to reach out when a blade is all you get
hard to eat when silverware just won’t stop crooning
when all you want is to get your table set

and i’m tired of playing the bad guy
and i’m tired of playing it cool
and i’m tired of playing these two-bit two chord songs
and playing the fool

and i don’t know just how we’re living
when this knife edge is all that’s there
all i know is no one’s loving you like dagger silverware

you keep holding onto me, you’ll just keep bleeding
when my eyes will cut you with a glance
you can’t follow my steps when i’m not leading
‘cause i never learned to dance

and i’m tired of being the bad guy
and i’m tired of being so cruel
and i’m tired of singing these two-bit two chord songs
and playing the fool

and i don’t know how we’ll keep walking
on this knife edge, thin as a hair
all i know is no one’s forking up like dagger silverware

you’ll never satiate the taste you have for disbelieving
when my empty words are filling you with doubt
and your pitch was in to third the very second i was leaving
i never cleared my plate before they called KNIVES OUT

whoa, oh

and i don’t know just how you’re feeling
you don’t know how long i’ll be there
all i know is no one’s stealing out like dagger silverware
