The Greatest Trick I Know Lyrics by Michael Malarkey

Knots

2015

[Instrumental]
[Verse 1]
Frightened of what is to come
And ashamed of your history
Her lies are like dominos
You fall and I will go down with you
[Pre-Chorus]
And the greatest trick I know
Is how to disappear completely
Pane the window
Board up the door
Less like a house, more like a mall
But watch him
[Chorus]
I will be there, when you're lost and found
Safe with the others, the orphans and clowns
I will be there when you're lost and found
Waiting for someone to take me home
[Verse 2]
Pacing cause I can't sit still
My mind keeps on racing
Like I've got somewhere to go
But I've nowhere to be anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
And the trust that you gave to me
It cracked like a dam, and in rushed the ocean
Flooded the city, and drowned all the men
I thought I could swim, but there was no land
To swim to
[Chorus]
I will be there, when you're lost and found
Safe with the others, the orphans and clowns
I will be there when you're lost and found
Waiting for someone to take me home
[Bridge]
We are all free
As we wanna be
Heavy hands and watch
We get lost in the sound
We are all free
As we wanna be
Heavy hands and watch
We get lost in the sound
We are all free
As we wanna be
Heavy hands and watch
We get lost in the sound
Lost in the sound
Lost in the sound
Lost in the sound
[Chorus]
I will be there, when you're lost and found
Safe with the others, the orphans and clowns
I will be there when you're lost and found
Waiting for someone to take me home
I will be there, when you're lost and found
Waiting for someone to take me home
