Lyrics for Raise The Knife by Dream Theater:
| | | Artist: | Dream Theater |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Raise The Knife | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 56 | | | | Lyrics: | Have I thanked you for your time?
Or will your life go unrewarded
Again?
Never asking
for a dime
You just gave all of yourself
Until I turned my back on you
My
friend
The powers that be made you a martyr
Conspiracy led you to slaughter

you
They all bought into your contrived sincerity
And how you wore your heart and soul
right on your sleeve
Laughing sarcastically
You turned your back on the people who adored
you
Self-absorbed exhaustion
Self-esteem distortion
Self-infused
extortion
Self-serving abortion
I'll take the blame for these things that I
say
'Cause I had the heart and the will and the courage to stay
Every day
I won't walk
away
Reading through all the digests you show me
I notice the way that yo | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
