Knuckle Down Lyrics - Life Fantastic - Man Man

All my branches break 

When you go and tell me 

Your body can't take 

not to be lonely 

I'm racing through the dark 

A headless Saint Bernard 

To cauterize the scars 

That line your dirty heart 

What the hell can I do 

When you whisper "punish me"? 

Snap me like a tiger trap 

I lost all my honey 

I'm bracing for the shiver 

String me in your quiver 

Aim me for the skyline 

But shoot me in the river 

And terror quits me 

When you palpitate 

Confess directly 

Sadness spreads your legs 

I contemplate the toll 

Turning diamonds into coal 

Traveling down this hole 

Throwing conscience to the wind 

That's cursed, it's not a path that 

I ever thought I would travel to get you back 

Our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin 

We're not to blame 

It's the same as it was never before, so 

I'm not a scoundrel 

It's just the suit that fits me 

Cut ties and breeze knots 

Maintains insanity 

Never thought I'd be like a hunger with no appetite 

A hunter with no urge for thrills 

A time for now, despise 

So I ask the devil 

How to learn to handle 

Woman with a shovel 

Digging downward spirals 

He tells me what to do 

And how to strut my cool 

And polish up my boots 

With all your lovers blood 

It's cursed, it's not a road that I ever thought 

I would travel to get you back 

Our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin 

We're not to blame 

It's the same as it was never before, so 

And I roam the trenches, 

Bayonet's just what I need 

Hate you more than anything 'cause 

You're everything to me, so 

You met your match, don't even know it yet 

Challenges ain't challenge 

When a needle's got your edge 

This time, it's not a road that I ever thought 

I would traffic to get you back 

Our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin 

We are to blame 

It's the same is it was never before, so -
