I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you?re kind
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight
I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you?re kind
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight
I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you?re kind
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight
I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you?re kind
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight
What do I do with the stuff
It seems like yesterday I called you up
I had a terrible case of the past
I didn?t know how to get it off
I didn?t know how to get it off
Pre-Chorus
And you took
Your machete
And you sliced through the vines that wrapped around me
And you said
I dont know what i?m doing
So I?ll just keep on cutting
It?s worth a little blood to get your arms free
I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you?re kind
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight
I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you?re kind
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight
What do I do with the stuff
It seems like yesterday I was in love
I kept on hardening the soft parts out
I didn?t know how to get them off
I didn?t know how to get them off
Pre-Chorus
And you took
Your machete
And you hacked through the wood in the surrounding
And you said
I dont know where I?m going
I just know that I'm heading
From the dead things piled up behind me
Pre-Chorus
And you took
Your machete
And you carved out a path to my chest
And you said see
There?s nothing not worth keeping
You felt so many beatings
But nothings gonna work if you believe me
But nothings gonna work if you believe me
I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you?re kind
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight
I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you?re kind
But withstood a trial till that robbed you, blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight
I have never liked the box of knives
I?d take it to the ocean side the day you die
I stood out on the dock no matter how hard I tried
I couldn?t drop it in a fight could last and die
What do I do with the stuff
It seems like yesterday you were alive
And it?s as if you never really died
And it?s as if you never really died
Pre-Chorus
And you took
Your machete
You said boo, guess who, but seriously beauty
You said see you got the drill now don?t you
It?s not a will or wont you
Can?t keep making symbols out of nothing
Pre-Chorus
So I took
Your machete
And I sliced off your hand until after
You said see it?s just like anti-matter
It?s Dumbo's magic feather
you don?t need me here to cut you
you don?t need me here to cut you
You don?t need me here to cut you
You don?t need me here to cut you
You don?t need me here to cut you
