lyrics

Satellites
Through the Night drift over our heads
Cuts through like a knife
This idea that one day we'll all be dead and gone
But it is right...

All the time
A billion voices drowning out the thoughts in my head
And all the time
A trillion whispers about what's in my bed and on...
And it's not right...

But you see
You see right through me, always
You see me
Your mind is a knife

Time slips away
Into a distant vault of memory
And we slip away
Carrying the dying breath of Humanity
And it's not right...

I hear what you say
It cuts right through the shit
And goes straight for my heart
And I say, I say 'stay away'
But it's a part of me I can't cut out, for sure
Baby, yeah, it's a fight

Fights get you nowhere fast
And I'm moving awfully slow
Continue to pass through the vines of regret
But I must learn to let go
It's alright
Baby, yeah, it's alright

Words get you somewhere, sometimes
But who's keeping score?
They'll help you out when the time comes
For you to show me your door
And it will be right

Your mind is a knife...
Your mind is a knife...
Your mind is a knife...
All our minds are knives...
Your mind is a knife...
Your mind is a knife...
