Knife Edge - Martin Luke Brown

I’ve been sleeping, waiting left, wanting something more

Captivate me, medicate me, gimme something raw

Sick of falling, works immortal crash into the fire

(I'm over that, I’m over that)

I’ve been boozing, slowly losing;

missing out on life

Should be laughing, dancing on the sharp end of the knife

Tired of standing, sinking sun, hands behind my back

(I'm over that, I’m over that)

Cry me to the wire

Throw me to the fire below

Take me now, take me higher

Anywhere you wanna go

Cut me into pieces, take everything you need

Just take me dancing on the knife edge

Dancing on the knife edge

Who am I?

Disguised as someone living in the light

Skin and bones and restlessness;

can’t you see that I’m

Cold and I’m hungry?

Show me something to bring me to my feet, yeah

Cause I’d rather die standing than be living on my knees

Cry me to the wire

Throw me to the fire below

Take me now, take me higher

Anywhere you wanna go

Cut me into pieces, take everything you need

Just take me dancing on the knife edge

Dancing on the knife edge

And now I’ve realized that you terrify me

And it’s the first time that I feel alive

So let me get over that, get over that, get over that

Cry me to the wire, mmm

Turn it down, take me higher

Cry me to the wire

Throw me to the fire below

Take me now, take me higher

Anywhere you wanna go

Cut me into pieces, take everything you need

Just take me dancing on the knife edge

Dancing on the knife edge
