Twist the Knife
Embracing Cruelty: A Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
You could teach me to be cruel
You have the ability to instruct me in being heartless
Like the way they tortured you
Similar to how others mistreated you
Teach me to be cruel
Teach me the ways of cruelty
Like the way they tortured you
Similar to the torment you endured
It's alright
Despite the situation, everything is acceptable
Twist the knife
Accept the pain or betrayal, endure it
It's alright
It's acceptable to experience pain or betrayal
Twist the knife
Embrace the pain or betrayal
You disappear, disappear
You fade away, escape, escape
Into grey, run away, run away
Disappear into a dull, mundane existence
You disappear, disappear
You fade away, escape, escape
Into grey, run away, run away
Disappear into a dull, mundane existence
You can't let go of the past
You are unable to release the grip on your history
When each day feels like your last
Each day feels like it could be your last
We could try to play it straight
We could attempt to be honest and direct
Sometimes love feels just like hate
Sometimes love is indistinguishable from hatred
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I shut my eyes
You twist and turn the knife
You intensify the pain and suffering
You could teach me to be cruel
You have the capability to teach me to be heartless
Like the way they tortured you
Similar to the way others tormented you
Teach me to be cruel
Teach me the ways of cruelty
Like the way they torture you
Similar to the torture you experienced
It's alright
Despite the situation, everything is acceptable
Twist the knife
Accept the pain or betrayal, endure it
It's alright
It's acceptable to experience pain or betrayal
Twist the knife
Embrace the pain or betrayal
You disappear, disappear
You fade away, escape, escape
Into grey, run away, run away
Disappear into a dull, mundane existence
You disappear, disappear
You fade away, escape, escape
Into grey, run away, run away
Disappear into a dull, mundane existence
You can't let go of the past
You are unable to release the grip on your history
When each day feels like your last
Each day feels like it could be your last
We could try to play it straight
We could attempt to be honest and direct
Sometimes love feels just like hate
Sometimes love is indistinguishable from hatred
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I shut my eyes
You twist and turn the knife
You intensify the pain and suffering
You could teach me to be cruel
You have the capability to teach me to be heartless
Like the way they tortured you
Similar to the way others tormented you
Teach me to be cruel
Teach me the ways of cruelty
Like the way they tortured you
Similar to the torture you experienced
It's alright
Despite the situation, everything is acceptable
Twist the knife
Accept the pain or betrayal, endure it
It's alright
It's acceptable to experience pain or betrayal
Twist the knife
Embrace the pain or betrayal
