Words Are Knives

from Fando & Lis: Found & Lost by Khavn

/

lyrics

You say
You love me coz my eyes
are the only stars at night.
You love me coz my hair
danced the wind.

You love me coz my face,
feather of an angel.
You love me coz my body sings.

You love me coz I’m this,
I’m that. You love me,
you say you love me.

But do you really know me
to think those words and say them?
Do you really know me
to feel those words and mean them?
Do you really love me
or are you just lonely?


You love me coz my mind walks on water
while you sit on sand and stare.

You love me coz my heart weeps rain,
not blood, not tears, not blood.

You love me, you
say you love me, you love
me, you say you love me.

Words are knives
you throw like roses
on my feet. I love you.
Words are knives
you throw like roses
on my feet. I love you.
I don’t trust easily.

Do you really know me
to think those words and say them?
Do you really know me
to feel those words and mean them?
Do you really love me
or are you just lonely?

You are just lonely.

In his hands, pianos become versatile mediums of violence and tenderness that produce label-defying compositions — not exactly avant or pop; not quite jazz or punk. ... more
