i don’t know you

You’re a hard one to see inside, always two steps away
I tried with everything I had to get closer to the day
When armor and guns and protective lies could be put away for good
I don’t know you

Cold to the touch, an assault on my nerves
You’re haunted and you haunt me
You block every move I try to make
Rationalize it clearly

Blinded I run away but it’s too late to kill the torment
I don’t know you

[Chorus]
Twisted shadows in the night, play with my intentions
Caress me as the wrestle me down, walk away smugly laughing
Call them off and look at yourself, it’s time to call a truce
I don’t know you

I didn’t start it, but I’m guilty of feeding it life
This emptiness between us cuts and shreds me just like a knife
Torn between blood and survival I question everything I do
I don’t know you

[Chorus]

Ragged trees in a winter wind, what can feed us light and make us sing
Fore we fade into gray and black, throw me the line I’ll pull in the slack
Torn between blood and survival I question everything I do
I don’t know you
