Double-Edged Swords

Words & Music by Allison Crowe

Going backwards on the train to France
As Germany flies by
I find myself distracted and
Wondering where and what and why

Im running away, running faster still
Slamming into a wall
The trips that I take myself on
Always lead to a fall

So dont hurt me, then maybe do
Maybe just let me be
I dont want to believe in anything
And I am not sure that I am free

If anything, dont lie to me
Just to play at words
Either run, walk, or attack me
You and your double-edged swords

I dont know why I get so close
So enraged, so serious
I dont know why my lucidities
Always lead to delirious

But, they do, oh my they do
And I delight in the blood
Far beneath these wings, I think,
is something less than good

So, dont hurt me, but, then, maybe do
Maybe just let me be
I dont want to believe in anything
And I am not sure that I am free

If anything dont lie to me
just to play at words
Either run, walk, or attack me
You and your double-edged swords

Now, maybe this is just my imagination
If so ignore this proclamation
Hell, now Im filled with indignation
So please accept my resignation

Im unpredictable, unwise at times
Dangerous in changing light
Too deep, too dark to see through
Or clear, calm and bright

So, if you think youre trouble
What does that make me
If you think youre the forest, baby
That makes me the sea

So dont hurt me, well, then, maybe do
Maybe just let me be
I dont want to believe in anything
And I am not sure that I am free

If anything, dont lie to me
just to play at words
Either run, walk or attack me
You and your double-edged swords

Dont hurt me
Maybe just a little
Maybe just let me be
I dont want to believe in anything
and, then again, I kinda do

So, if anything dont lie to me
just to play at words
Either run, walk or attack me
You and your double-edged swords

Either run, walk or attack me
You and your double-edged swords
