Kansas - Under The Knife lyrics

A whisper a tempest is raging from within

I hold my breath bitter proud

Afraid to scream fire in the middle of a crowd

I ponder incision envision the brain

I beckon the surgeon to a slice against the grain

now that I've waisted you

the white room is pure the doctors are brave

If there's a cure I want to be saved

Sanctuary

Under the knife sharp and shiny key

Repair redeem resurrection

Under the knife they'll cut you out of me

Maybe love's imitation is life under the knife

I have come to determine a reasonable doubt

Where heaven and hell draw their boundary lines about

Now that I've waisted you now that I've tasted you

The white room had frost on the cold window pane

Your love had been lost my love was in vain

Sanctuary

Cynical splices stitch and install

Solder the filaments I feel nothing at all

Second wind secrets let them rise let them fall

I'll walk through your firestorm but never never crawl

The gambler lives the blood stain dries

It's time to forgive I open my eyes

Sanctuary
