Machete Amanda Palmer

[Chorus]
I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you're kind
But withstood a childhood that robbed you blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight
I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you're kind
But withstood a childhood that robbed you blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight
I have never liked the box of knives
You said was a paradox because you're kind
But withstood a childhood that robbed you blind
Of love that was safe and so you learned to fight

[Verse 1]
What do I do with this stuff?
It seems like yesterday I called you up
I had a terrible case of the past
I didn't know how to get it off
I didn't know how to get it off

[Pre-Chorus]
And you took your machete
And you sliced through the vines that wrapped around me
And you said, "I don't know what I'm doing
So I'll just keep on cutting
It's worth a little blood to get your hands free"
