House & Home - Pocket Knife Lyrics

Am I patient?
Or are those the weaknesses in me?
I'm quiet or beside myself
There's no point that's in between
Or am I simple?
To think that I know how to be
An antidote for everyone
While I'm grinding down my teeth

I always feel like I'm asleep at the wheel
Can't help but forget what I'm taught
There's a pocket knife hidden inside of my jacket
God knows it'll stay there and rot

Lights in windows scattered on houses
But I know no one's awake
Flicker 'til they burn out
And I think that's a sign to stay away

If I'm sorry
Then it's no one's fault but mine
I'm at the mercy of my temperament
And it changes all the time

So now I balance
On an ever-thinning line
Between what I can remedy
And what keeps me up at night

Can't help but forget what I'm taught
There's a pocket knife hidden inside of my jacket
God knows it'll stay there and rot

Lights in windows scattered on houses
But I know no one's awake
Flicker 'til they burn out
And I think that's a sign to stay away
Level with myself to find traces
Of the way I was before
Existence with no consequence
I don't know what that means anymore

Level with myself to find traces
Of the way I was before
Existence with no consequence
I don't know what that means anymore
