Lyrics – I Know (Live at the Loft) by the artist: DAme the flatpicker, fastest on Earth

I KNOW (Lyrics)

Drinking from the chalice of indifference

Aboard a vessel in my mind

Hear the haunting sounds of rotting wood

Serve to awaken a sense of time

But the candle’s running out of wick

And I am running out of wine

Im the man in the middle

Drifting out to sea

Waiting for a strong slow current

To carry me

It was 2 years before the mast

And through the looking glass

I don’t know where to go

The things that he said

They really turned my head

But Tom Sawyer is still a (expletive)

Why don’t you tell me so

Im the man in the middle

Holdin out my hand

Im waiting for a strong slow current

Take my hand

Come on take my hand

Shes just the girl you want (rhythmic chant-like)

Shes just the girl you wanted

But she dont want you

She dont want you (Dark Em)

She won’t let you in

She won’t let you WIN

(Brighter)

I know

I know

I know

I know

I came and died for you

Because

I know it hurts so bad sometimes

I know shes the girl you want

You gotta let her go

(Spoken) Let her go.

My mom said she can’t understand the words 😀 also so I wrote them here. Not a fan of publishing lyrics. REM thing. Ask me more about why in a $20 (or more tip or donation) podcast or video appearance pricetag and I’ll explain ya good and hard. Not a fan of them for my music. Luv, #DAme #Flatpicker #DamienRiley 🕺
