Bowerbirds - Knives, Snakes & Mesquite lyrics

Listen through the walls. The wave has got to break soon Only so many nails to a room, only so much could it support The floorboards sigh to the sway of the dance that could keep going All night and peel away the dawn And I am a peach down in the forest of knives and snakes and mesquite Where all is a dream, all eyes on me, and I bite my nails till they bleed I see your claws come off and your knees come out Like an iceberg, like a secret offer Sailing the waves of that icy morning While all in between theres a new wind blowing And I am a peach down in the forest of knives and snakes and mesquite Where all is a dream, all eyes on me, and I bite my nails till they bleed (The prevailing winds from the east) I will set my sights on defeat
