David Lyrics by White Hinterland

Baby

0

[Verse 1]
David, I don't believe in God
I don't think we're heroes in this play
I see beauty in your eyes
But all around me
Corruption, cruelty, and senselessness
You wanna know that time erodes all pain
With all certainty I can't say

[Verse 2]
David, I take no comfort in fate
Unruly prevaricator
And bathos in the well of my memories
Colors all it touches
Sentimental and cheap

[Chorus]
Whatever you say
Don't say we were lucky
Whatever you do
Don't call it chance
That's like saying it was an accident
When I was running at you
Running at you with my sharpest knife

[Verse 3]
Friends we know will fall behind
Many of them at their own hands
Some caught beneath the wheel of the bigger lie
They were fucked from the start, baby
They never began

[Verse 4]
David, I don't need a second chance
Though your hands are tied and mine are none too clean
This life is the only one I want to live
And it ain't any less of a gift when it's one you cannot keep

[Chorus]
Whatever you say
Don't say we were lucky
Whatever you do
Don't call it chance
It was no accident
I was running at you with my sharpest knife
Running at you
Running at you
Running at you with my sharpest knife
Running at you with my sharpest knife
