Knuckle Down - Man Man

All my branches break

When you go and tell me

Your body can’t take

not to be lonely

I’m racing through the dark

A headless Saint Bernard

To cauterize the scars

That line your dirty heart

What the hell can I do

When you whisper «punish me»?

Snap me like a tiger trap

I lost all my honey

I’m bracing for the shiver

String me in your quiver

Aim me for the skyline

But shoot me in the river

And terror quits me

When you palpitate

Confess directly

Sadness spreads your legs

I contemplate the toll

Turning diamonds into coal

Traveling down this hole

Throwing conscience to the wind

That’s cursed, it’s not a path that

I ever thought I would travel to get you back

Our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin

We’re not to blame

It’s the same as it was never before, so

I’m not a scoundrel

It’s just the suit that fits me

Cut ties and breeze knots

Maintains insanity

Never thought I’d be like a hunger with no appetite

A hunter with no urge for thrills

A time for now, despise

So I ask the devil

How to learn to handle

Woman with a shovel

Digging downward spirals

He tells me what to do

And how to strut my cool

And polish up my boots

With all your lovers blood

It’s cursed, it’s not a road that I ever thought

I would travel to get you back

Our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin

We’re not to blame

It’s the same as it was never before, so

And I roam the trenches,

Bayonet’s just what I need

Hate you more than anything 'cause

You’re everything to me, so

You met your match, don’t even know it yet

Challenges ain’t challenge

When a needle’s got your edge

This time, it’s not a road that I ever thought

I would traffic to get you back

Our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin

We are to blame

It’s the same is it was never before, so —
