I Am Lost - Knifeworld

Crowned to brave her

Regal dread, she-wolf, she said

I saved her

She expands, makes good her plans

And now I’ve only got myself to blame

Cowed to frame her

Heavens burn with all she learns

You’ll tame her

She brings fire, she brings barbed wire

And now you’ve only got yourself to blame

You could’ve shut it down, could have walked away

Count who made her

The easy fell, the easy fall

I don’t parade where

I’ve seen enough or seen it all

And now you’ve only got yourself to blame

You could’ve shut it down, could have walked away

You should’ve listened hard to what I said

And now you’re only walking with the dead

Crowned too brave, her

Well I’m tied up with the morning, stunned

I am lost

Who made her?

Who opened the box that contained her?

Who trembled?

Tore up the instructions assembled

Delusion

Trawling the banks of confusion

Take me in outsider

Take me out inside her

Counter fader

I’m tied up with the awnings on

Cowed to frame her

I’m high up with the mourning sun

Crowned to brave her

I’m hiding when the warning comes

Take me in outsider (I am)

Take me out inside her (lost)

And now you’ve only got yourself to blame

You could’ve shut it down, could have walked away

You should’ve listened hard to what I said

And now you’re only walking with the dead

And now you’ve only got yourself to blame

And now you’ve only got yourself to blame

Who made her?

Who opened the box that contained her?
