Running With Knives

By David Hopkins



About the Song:

"I wrote this song about how people who love each other may actually also hate each other the most. Also half way through writing it, I realized it related to war, and kinda went off with that idea too. But it's basically about war, between countries and between people."
— David Hopkins





Lyrics:

Every time I see you on your own
I take it to heart, make it my own
I do what I am able

And every time I think of what we are
Running with knives aimed at the heart
Around the table

Everytime I see it in the news
The same old curse I choose to refuse
to play follow the leader

And you and I are crazy to be here
We're only here now because of fear
But comfort is like dying

If everyday you walk into the sun
Looking to find that perfect one
You've been reading fables

Open up and see just what we are
Running with knives aimed at the heart
Around the table

Talk to me
Just say anything that comes to mind
So I know you're alright
Talk to me
Just say anything that comes to mind
So I know you're alive

Talk to me
Just say anything that comes to mind
So I know you're alright
Talk to me
Just say anything that comes to mind
So I know you're alive

1,2,3,4 what you so down for
5,6,7,8 don't leave it too late
1,2,3,4 what you so down for
5,6,7,8 don't leave it too late
