I guess hope springs eternal in idiots like me I lowered my guard — I put my good sense out to sea Where handshakes mean nothing And a man's word is his lie I can't believe I went along for the ride Knife in the face When I was down and out Knife in the face It left no doubt Knife in the face This is reality Knife in the face That's what you think of me Friends are just roles which we choose to occupy Just blips on the radar pa**ing in the night And all of the good times they only end bad And all of the laughter it always turns sad Where handshakes mean nothing And a man's word is his lie I can't believe I went along for the ride Knife in the face When I was down and out Knife in the face It left no doubt Knife in the face This is reality Knife in the face That's what you think of me This is the sound of a broken heart I bared my soul and I had it ripped apart This is the sound of shattered dreams They flew too high and above their means
And all of those knives that were buried in my back Not one of them could stop me in my tracks But the knife that got me – That put me in my place Is the one you stuck right in my f**ing face Knife in the face Knife in the face Knife in the face Knife in the face Where handshakes mean nothing And a man's word is his lie I can't believe I went along for the ride Knife in the face Knife in the face Knife in the face Knife in the face Bridges are burning — I just watch them burn Another one down man when will I learn? When will I give up? When will I quit? Opening my life up to other people's sh** Where handshakes mean nothing And a man's word is his lie I can't believe I went along for the ride Knife in the face When I was down and out Knife in the face It left no doubt Knife in the face This is reality Knife in the face That's what you think of me Knife in the face Knife In the face Knife in the face Knife in the face
