I'll Never Play with Knives Again

from Strung Out by Renee Goust

/

lyrics

I never take my eggs sunny side up
or kill my inner atrophy.
I never put my hands out in front
when i fall accidentally.

I never understood the point
of having one continous life
of waking up and sleeping down
until one day never again.

Good! 'cause
I'm tired, my brain is wired.
I'm fired, but i'm desired.
I'm high but can I get higher?
I'm fired, but I'm inspired, yeah.

I never underestimate
The value of my self-control.
I'll never play with knives again
Especially if on cocaine.

I'm tired, my brain is wired.
I'm fired, but i'm desired.
I'm high but can i get higher?
I'm fired, but i'm inspired.

I took a wild ride with you,
I soaked a towel in blood with you,
I rode the ambulance with you,
Emergency room without you.

That night I punched you in the face,
A fact I could never explain,
In fact i can't even remember,
Oh, was it December?
