Teeth Like Knives

[Verse 1]
You're stretched out at the head of the table
Ate the feast and drank all the wine
I took your curses 'til I was not able
I can't hate you but I might
Because I have to ask why...

[Pre-Chorus]
So full of grace from which to fall
Further still

[Chorus]
This is the sound of bone on bone
Through teeth like knives
Oh, give us a kiss
It's hostile ground for hope
Fallin' on hard times
Too much to risk

[Verse 2]
Birth of heaven or someone dying
Sons of the earth or thorn in the side
I must confess I never saw it coming
Little fox among the vines
Just brave enough to hide

[Chorus]
This is the sound of bone on bone
Through teeth like knives
Oh, give us a kiss
It's hostile ground for hope
Fallin' on hard times
Too much to risk

[Bridge]
Once beloved
Twice grown cold
Thirty pieces of fool's gold
For this
Et tu Brute?
What have you done?
A pound of flesh and all this blood
For this

[Pre-Chorus]
So full of grace from which to fall
Further still

[Chorus]
This is the sound of bone on bone
Through teeth like knives
Oh, give us a kiss
It's hostile ground for hope
Fallin' on hard times
It's too much to risk
Too much to risk
Too much to risk
It's too much to risk
