Against the Mortal Knife

Lyrics by me, music by you know who. Against the Mortal Knife is a quiet, atmospheric piece about longing, disillusionment, and the search for something real beneath surface desire. Against the Mortal Knife - I tried to touch a flower, but it shimmered, translucent as a ghost. I tried to understand, but your silence cut the most. You are a garden built of glass, a beauty I can see, But every time I reach for you, you drift away from me. (Chorus) A dream fell by the wayside, left to gather dust. Love dissolved into a hollow lust. I don’t want to ache forever for what I want to feel. The lotus opens up and unveils something real. My years don’t have to rise to peaks lonely at the top Inner love eclipses everything I sought. The answer lies within, or so I’ve been told. Enlightening words of wisdom that never get old. Listen to the bullshit they preach for what you don’t got, Soon you’ll all turn to dust and be forgot. Don't try to figure out crazy, just go on with your life, balancing on the edge of a mortal knife.
