The Knife Feels Like Justice Lyrics

So you think that you have found
A better life that you should live
And you're through givin' it all away
I wish there's something I could say
Like the time you looked into the mirror
And saw someone else lookin' back
I wish I could find the words
But there's nothing that even comes close

'cause there ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right through me
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right by me
And you can't go when the knife feels like justice

When the sun dies down, the air grows cold
And the moon plays tricks in the night
Crawlin' low like a snake out of sight
Your guide is the northern light
You wanna laugh say I'm insane
Don't have the sense to come in from the rain
I know how to keep myself between the drops

There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right through me


There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right by me
And you can't go when the knife feels like justice
Slip away
Slip away
Slip away
Slip away

So you think that you have won me over
By settin' me on fire
With the sound of your beating heart
And you're burnin' hot desire
Like the time I looked at your reflections
And saw someone else lookin' back
It's a shame things happen that way
'cause there's no one that even comes close

And there ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right through me
There ain't nobody ever looked at me
Without lookin' right by me
And you can't go when the knife feels like justice
I said you can't go on when the blade tears inside you
You can't go on when the knife feels like justice
