Rumors of Knives Lyrics by The Ready Aim Fire!

Strong Enough

2008

Here, no one has ever said a word
That wasn't sharp and well rehearsed
But you were rumors of knives
Yeah, you were rumors of knives
But that summer we owned every goddamn street
Until the jealous heat melted the concrete
You were the sun at the time
You were the sun at the time
But you still found a way
To place the blame on me, yeah
Yeah, you swore you were crime dressed in white
You were a virgin's last night
But we're all so insignificant
It didn't quite work out, did it?
You are a broken headlight
You are a lie stretched too tight
We all sing and no one listens
So it didn't quite work out, did it?
Did it?
So you sold me out
Yeah, you took my advice
So I tried not to mind
It was just a matter of time
I just thought you were a snapshot of blurs
A moment of beauty that will never reoccur
Yeah, you fooled me
You had me convinced
And I hate to admit
I still miss it
But I just miss the colors that were never there
But you still swear you were the name they recite
You were an atheist's first night
But we're all so insignificant
It didn't quite work out, did it?
You are a ghost in the light
You are the lines I rewrite
And none of us will ever mean shit
So it didn't quite work out
Cuz now I can tell a wolf, I can tell a wolf by their eyes
Yeah, now I can tell a wolf, I can tell a wolf by their eyes, by their eyes, yeah
Give up
So give up
I can tell a wolf, I can tell a wolf by their eyes, by their eyes
Yeah, now I can tell a wolf, I can tell a wolf by their eyes, by their eyes, yeah
