Martin Luke Brown – Knife Edge lyrics

[Verse 1]
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)

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Cry me to the wire, mmm
Turn it down, take me higher

[Chorus]
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
