Knife's Edge Songtext
von Vacant Home

I am so drained, I am so drained
I call out and I can′t hear your name
My pulse through the roof
Was this all in vain?

Hot flashes, cold sweats
Where will I find you next?
Thoughts flood into my head
I've woken up to an empty bed

Hot flashes, cold sweats
Where will I find you next?
Thoughts flood into my head
Please don′t tell me you left me here again
Just don't go back there again

Walking on a knife's edge to keep the blades at bay
Hoping for a time that they′d just crack and rust away
Silence makes the mind wander
Distance makes the body weak
Tell me you′re alright
Please be safe (please be safe)


Always within reach, but never close enough
Always within reach, but I'm never fast
I′m never fast, I'm never fast enough

I′ve watched a soul, I've watched a soul bleed out
Over and over (I′ve watched a soul die)
I felt my soul, I felt my soul bleed out
I can't, I can't go on

And as I rode with you in the back of the ambulance
I stopped and I thought
"Will I ever see you again?
Will you ever open your fucking eyes?"

Each step I take is a balancing act
A reoccurring spate of heart attacks
Expecting the worst to come
Hoping you find the strength to carry on

Knife′s edge, knife′s edge
I still remember every word you said
Knife's edge, knife′s edge
The weight is lifted along with all the dead
I still remember every word you said
The weight is lifted along with all the dead


I was so drained (I was so drained)
You wear your scars, but you're still here breathing
My pulse is subdued
This was not in vain
