(Fade Into Extended Musical Intro) (Extended Musical Intro) (Verse 1) You came in vibrant and with a wide grin With a long blade tucked into your coat Talking in a sweet voice smooth as honey Then your hands latched onto my throat I know that glazed and confused look I know that same smile, hesitant to begin You bring a dark storm cloud and a ring of chaos and confusion And you say with certain conviction “I’d call that a win” (Pre-Chorus) But I will never live my life I won’t be caught-up in a freeze You stupid idiot, you brought a knife To a gun fight…………please (Chorus) Knife to a gun fight Knife to a gun fight You keep swinging awkwardly blind But I remain on the sidelines holding tight Knife to a gun fight Knife to a gun fight You came dressed to fight a prolonged war I’m here man just trying my best to stay alive (Verse 2) You compile a list of my numerous scars And you humorously tally-up the score I turned that ninety degree bend at the door Into an experience that made me come back for more You talk like a big thug in the general public Acting like a bad ass with your paper crown But the precision steel that you yield Tells the honest truth when it all comes down (Pre-Chorus) But I will never live my life I won’t be caught-up in a freeze You stupid idiot, you brought a knife To a gun fight…………please (Chorus) Knife to a gun fight Knife to a gun fight You keep swinging awkwardly blind But I remain on the sidelines holding tight Knife to a gun fight Knife to a gun fight You came dressed to fight a prolonged war I’m here man just trying my best to stay alive (Verse 3) Now the room becomes silent and eerily still When our eyes meet for that very first time All that noise that you made at your own will Turns into an unflattering compromise You wanted a taste of my royal blood I wanted to hide somewhere safe and bow out Now you're backed into a corner where I once stood That you built and promoted to the gathering crowd (Extended Musical Solos) (Pre-Chorus) But I will never live my life I won’t be caught-up in a freeze You stupid idiot, you brought a knife To a gun fight…………please (Chorus) Knife to a gun fight Knife to a gun fight You keep swinging awkwardly blind But I remain on the sidelines holding tight Knife to a gun fight Knife to a gun fight You came dressed to fight a prolonged war I’m here man just trying my best to stay alive Knife to a gun fight Knife to a gun fight You brought on the the elevated threat I reached-out as you paid the ultimate debt (Musical Outro) (Fade Out Of Musical Outro)
