Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I see the world through bloodshot eyes
Streets filled with blood from distant lies
Dogs of war never compromise
There ain't no time for rearranging
[PreChorus]
"Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind
He said it happens every time
[Chorus]
(Knock it down) And that's how the story goes
(Knock it down) In the land of a thousand "no's"
(Knock it down) I'm all over you, in time, my mind is changing
Oh, knock it down
[Verse 2]
Black on black gives me a heart attack
And the silence makes it deadly
Some choose to kill with simple will
I've seen them fall fast and steady
[PreChorus]
"Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind
He said it happens every time
[Chorus]
(Knock it down) And that's how the story goes
(Knock it down) In the land of a thousand "no's"
(Knock it down) I'm all over you, in time, my mind is changing
[Verse 3]
Twist of fate won't give me a break
And myself, I'm slow and tired
I've got to rise with these bloodshot eyes
But I keep falling when I'm higher
[PreChorus]
"Help me Jesus, help me clean my wounds"
He said he cannot heal that kind
Bleeding soul becomes a bitter mind
He said it happens every time
[Chorus]
(Knock it down) That's how the story goes
(Knock it down) In the land of a thousand "no's"
(Knock it down) We are bleeding sins and our sins are always fading
Oh, fading
Oh, fading
Oh, fading
[Outro]
Oh, knock it down, knock it down
Oh, knock it down, knock it down
Oh, knock it down, knock it down
Oh, knock it down
