Under The Knife Lyrics - Freaks Of Nature - Kansas

Buried deep under blood and skin 

A whisper, a tempest is raging from within 

I hold my breath, bitter proud 

Afraid to scream fire in the middle of a crowd 

Upon your incisions, envision the brain 

I beckon the surgeon to a slice against the grain 

Now that I've wasted you 

The white room is pure, the doctors are brave 

If there's a cure, I want to be saved. Sanctuary! 

Under the knife sharp and shiny key 

Repair, redeem, resurrection 

Under the knife they'll cut you out of me 

Maybe love's imitation is life, under the knife 

I have come to define a litany of sins 

In a black dream, a court room where the trial never ends 

I have come to determine a reasonable doubt 

Where heaven and hell draw their boundary lines about 

Now that I've wasted you, now that I've tasted you 

White room had frost on the cold window pane 

Your love had been lost, my love was in vain. Sanctuary! 

Under the knife sharp and shiny key 

Repair, redeem, resurrection, yeah 

Under the knife, they'll cut you out of me 

Maybe dreams can be larger than life 

Under the knife, yeah 

Cynical splices, stitch and install 

Solder the filaments, I feel nothing at all 

Second wind secrets, let them rise let them fall 

I'll walk through your firestorm but never never crawl 

Gambler lives, the blood stain dries 

It's time to forgive, I open my eyes. Sanctuary! 

Under the knife sharp and shiny key 

Repair, redeem, resurrection 

Under the knife they'll cut you out of me 

Maybe love's imitation is life, under the knife 

Under the knife sharp and shiny key 

Repair, redeem, resurrection 

Under the knife they'll cut you out of me 

Maybe dreams can be larger than life 

Under the knife, yeah
