Song Lyrics

"Shiv"

by Stavesacre
Album: Absolutes

I'm crawling out of my skin, I hope I get under yours,
So many times before, but you still wanna know why,
I won't just lay down and die,
What did you expect' - I think that I could guess,
But this weight is lifted and I'm like back from the dead,
And I'm feeling kinda strange,
I'm not the same, and I think I like the change.

Nothing lost, just cut away,
Nothing left to hinder me,
Pushing on, stronger every day,
Leaning into the wind that used to carry me,
The last shot nearly killed me, (nothing left to hinder me)
Eternity lifted me again,
Oh, how I want to be an offence, an unsettling presence in this life. (nothing left to hinder me)

Why'd you try to take me out'
Why try to keep me down'
To get my eyes off me,
Down each ugly street: too many needs, too many souls on their knees
And where have I been'
Too much is me and mine,
Too much is wasting time with the cares of this life,
And now I understand and I'm...I'm on my way I feel like a man,
And I...I think I like the change.

Nothing lost, just cut away,
Nothing left to hinder me,
Pushing on, stronger every day,
Leaning into the wind that used to carry me,
The last shot nearly killed me, (nothing left to hinder me)
Eternity lifted me again,
Oh, how I want to be an offence, an unsettling presence in this life. (nothing left to hinder me)

Why'd you try to take me out'
Why try to keep me down'
Why try to keep me down'
Why try to keep me down'
