Walking the Knife Lyrics by Hatebreed

The Concrete Confessional

2016

You only know life's worth
When you're taken to a place where life means nothing
You only know what hurts
When you dig to a place where the pain stops coming

Some days will give you the ground
Some days will give you the rope
Someone will hand you the poison
Who is it that pours it down your throat

[Chorus]
Follow follow
What your gut is telling you or
Swallow swallow
Swallow what they're feeding you
Death is on one side, the other is life
Neither seems bright when you're walking the knife
Follow follow
What your gut is telling you or
Swallow swallow
Swallow what they're feeding you
Looking at both sides, foes or friends
Lighting the candle that burns at both ends

You only know love's weight
When you're carried to a place where acceptance is real
You only put your faith
In the places you know it's truly sincere
Failure's on one side, the other is growth
Neither is a choice when you're beneath the earth

[Chorus]

Follow follow
What your gut is telling you or
Swallow swallow
Swallow what they're feeding you

Follow follow
What your gut is telling you or
Swallow swallow
Swallow what they're feeding you
Death is on one side, the other is life
Neither seems bright when you're walking the knife
