Otherly - Knife Fight Lyrics

Harvesting my doubt, now
Quiet as a mouse, now
Everything you want from me and more
I will be everything you want from me and more
Tell me, have you ever had a love like this before
I can be anything, to allay you
Lights out at the house, now
Pulling me apart, now
I don't even wince these days when that name
Hangs in the back of your mouth like a rotten tooth
A bit of sugar won't help to swallow that excuse
But I'll try to choke it down, to assuage you
Venom linger in the wound
Become part of you
Don't ask me to claim it
Gash has healed; something's left
Stinger stuck beneath closed flesh
I won't change it
Morning at the house, now
Clattering about, now
You brought your good words into a knife fight
Wonder why you had to go and get yourself sliced, right
So, tell me, do you get off seeing me in this light
'Cause I'll keep right on burning, to shine for you
Gift me something foul, now
A rat in your jowls, now
Skulking martyr, point that dagger inwards
Spare me the slight of justifying your actions in words
You knew it would be bad but I'm hoping it was worse
Still you consecrate your voice to the void
Venom linger in the wound
Become part of you
Don't ask me to claim it
Gash has healed; something's left
Stinger stuck beneath closed flesh
I won't change it
Keep the secret in the cut
From time to time I'll feel the tug
Telling me I want more
Keep the secret in the cut
From time to time I'll feed the glut
Can't say I don't want more
