Switchblade Architect Lyrics by The Killing Tree

The Romance of Helen Trent

2002

[Intro: Helena Marie]
"[?] You know, I can't move out. I mean I... I'm gonna feel so alone, I feel really alone, you know, really really alone, and I don't wanna be without you. I feel really alone, and.. I mean, I kept hearing everybody say, "don't get in a relationship! Don't get in a relationship! relationship will screw you up! Don't get in a relationship! Don't get in a relationship! Relationship will screw you up!" They were all right."

[Verse 1: Tim McIlrath]
Switchblade! Feel the tempered steel
Against your skin so innocent
Orchestrate this demise
Now shut up and pay attention
Searching for an artery of
Blind affection digging for this vein
To tap dry then savor
Shut up and pay attention
Eyes wide with surpasses only by my own
So fucking scared of the consequence

[Pre-Chorus]
Shut up and pay attention
I want someone to listen
Now you don't believe me
Now I won't let you hear a word that I said

[Chorus]
Whoa, all I want to know
You're all, all I want to hear
You don't know what you mean to me
You don't know what it means to be

[Verse 2]
Switchblade! Lock action into place
Quick release such a pretty face
You don't even know that the time has since passed
Up and pay attention
Quiet please you had your chance now
Setting in like wet concrete
Reality begins to harden

[Pre-Chorus]
Shut up and pay attention
I want someone to listen
Now you don't believe me
Now I won't let you hear a word that I said

[Chorus]
Whoa, all I want to know
You're all, all I want to hear
You don't know what you mean to me
You don't know what it means to be

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Switchblade
Switchblade
Switchblade
Switchblade architect
Switchblade architect
Switchblade architect
Switchblade architect
Switchblade

[Chorus]
Whoa, all I want to know
You're all, all I want to hear
You don't know what you mean to me
You don't know what it means to be
