The Germ Inside - Knifeworld

Complete disinterest was the germ inside the word

That I believed was hope

But I got it all wrong

Inside this miracle, still swinging from its rope

Advice I never heard

Or maybe just took all wrong

And I would drown myself in wine

With the only living friend that I could find

That don’t get me all wrong

Aboard the battleship you’re sailing or you’re sunk

But we’ll be buoyant soon

Or I’ll get it all wrong

Inside your harbour, navigating by the moon

And all the crew are drunk

So they can’t be all wrong

So I’l drown myself in wine

With the only living friends that I can find

If they leave me all adrift on foreign shores

Would it be so wrong of me to crash at yours?

But don’t get me all wrong

No, don’t get me all wrong

Oh the fortune

You’re the germ inside the word

Still, I gotta watch you now

'Cos you’re all I really want

But there’s a hunter

Like a parasite inside

I gotta wonder

If it’s all I really am

Oh the fortune

You were all my easy virtues

But my own mind

Was the war zone in my own mind

Oh the fortune (fortune)

You’re the germ inside the word

Still, I gotta watch you now (watch you)

'Cos you’re all I really want

But here’s a problem there’s a hunter

Like a parasite inside

I gotta wonder (wonder)

If it’s all I really am

Oh the fortune

You were all my easy virtues

But my own mind

Was the war zone in my own mind, yeah

Fortune

You were all my easy virtues

But my own mind

Was the war zone in my own mind, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
