Don't Step Into The Knife

stray thoughts breaking into a blue run
pictures flashing in the covered canyon
then i lost the wheel with both of my hands on
and it's where we begin in a life thats hard to drive

don't step into the knife
as the rest of your defenses divide
if i can make it you can take it out of control
and save it just in time

all your feelings are gonna ping-pong
lean on the railing, it doesn't take long
watch as the pieces are losing momentum
and you see, they inevitably gonna back and forth collide

your imagination has died
a ghost sleeping deep in the mind
if you can wake it i can take it out of the soul
and bring it back to life

how long can it go
tell me what carries you, now

deep inside you know how it feels wrong
you've drawn a ghost in desperation
bright fingers are reaching for what you have written
cut to the nightmares of youth that have kept these marks alive

don't step into the knife
as the rest of your defenses divide
if i can make it you can take it out of control
and save it just in time

come on home
