Any Last Words Before The Knife?

from Any Last Words Before The Knife? by They Sang As They Slew

/

lyrics

And so you step away
A suitcase full of stars
Words packed for a better day
Hands folding, unfolding

And so there you are
A hope chest made for change
Filled with city trash
All golden and molding

Dressing, undressing and dressing again (it’s like?)
Confessing, redressing, confessing again (it’s like?)
What’s pressing me down to the earth all over again

Oh, you don’t get what you deserve
And inside, you die, you die, you die
Oh you get what you won’t return,
The broken hearts, a landslide

Any last words before the knife?
“What will be shall surely be”
A stab and the scales come free
Rending, unmending

And so she slips away
With a box of her favorite fears
Which she throws in the ocean
It falls, it sinks, it disappears

Dressing, undressing and dressing again (it’s like?)
Confessing, redressing, confessing again (it’s like?)
What’s pressing me down to the earth all over again

Oh, you don’t get what you deserve
And inside, you die, you die, you die
Oh you get what you won’t return,
The broken hearts, a landslide

Oh you get what you won’t return,
The broken hearts, the landslide

The landslide...
