Put the Knife Down

from Fourth Peter by Short Hand

/

lyrics

I thought I’d earned respect
But it seems I’m still in debt
And yet and yet and yet and yet
Put the knife down

No father of a girl I’d see
Ever thought that much of me
It seems I’m not an old man’s dream
Put the knife down

There’s no money in my body, man
No business in my busy hands
No hourglass of golden sand
Put the knife down

If not the air and solid ground
If not my heart and human sounds
If not the darkness all around
Put the knife down

I thought I’d passed the test
Thought I’d aced, nothing less
But still it seems I’m a mess
Put the knife down

I thought I was out of breath
But it seems I’m not just yet
I wouldn’t guess, I wouldn’t bet
Put the knife down
