lyrics

Dervish

This knife was a gift from a guy
That I met on a Saturday night
He told me if I hold it right
That I could cut a hole through time
Through time

And if I lie before the Delphi
Protect me from the hell of self I make
Cross my fingers, let them break
You give and give and never take

Open, you said you would
Open, you said you would
Open, you said you would

We all wish for some more
Thrown across the room
Against the door
Corner, corner
Beg for some light
Just a little on the inside
On the inside

I know it seems almost true
When those incantations are used
Against you

Cross your fingers until they break
You give and you give
Never take—
