The Germ Inside Lyrics by Knifeworld

Bottled Out Of Eden

2016

Complete disinterest was the germ inside the word
That I believed was hope
But I got it all wrong

Inside this miracle, still swinging from its rope
Advice I never heard
Or maybe just took all wrong

And I would drown myself in wine
With the only living friend that I could find
That don't get me all wrong

Aboard the battleship you're sailing or you're sunk
But we'll be buoyant soon
Or I'll get it all wrong

Inside your harbour, navigating by the moon
And all the crew are drunk
So they can't be all wrong

So I'l drown myself in wine
With the only living friends that I can find
If they leave me all adrift on foreign shores
Would it be so wrong of me to crash at yours?

But don't get me all wrong
No, don't get me all wrong

Oh the fortune
You're the germ inside the word
Still, I gotta watch you now
'Cos you're all I really want

But there's a hunter
Like a parasite inside
I gotta wonder
If it's all I really am

Oh the fortune
You were all my easy virtues
But my own mind
Was the war zone in my own mind

Oh the fortune (fortune)
You're the germ inside the word
Still, I gotta watch you now (watch you)
'Cos you're all I really want

But here's a problem there's a hunter
Like a parasite inside
I gotta wonder (wonder)
If it's all I really am

Oh the fortune
You were all my easy virtues
But my own mind
Was the war zone in my own mind, yeah

Fortune
You were all my easy virtues
But my own mind
Was the war zone in my own mind, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
