Letra de 'Picking Up Knives' de Panic Room

Mother watching from the window
Funny how there's still no sign
Recently you know she's seen her baby change
What if he has crossed the line?
His brother was hanging with the big crowd
Never seen a harder man
And the hero sets a battle for the child
He wants to do his family proud
Running through the beat of his life
Learning to graduate to picking up knives
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Cover your ears from the violence
It's getting worse here day by day
Have you seen the streets
They're running with young blood
Crimson tide among the grey
Running through the streets of his life
And he'll learn the tricks of the night
Gotta prove his brother was right
He'll get better at, better at picking up knives
And then, it tells another tale
Another young boy found
In the streets last night
And the people hide
Afraid to go outside
And the water's running wild
With the finding of the child
Mother watching from the window
Hears a sound beside the door
And she runs to it, her hand across her heart
She sees her little boy once more
But I stand watching from my window
I see the lights as they arrive
I've been waiting for you,
Waiting for all the night
Now I know the reason why
Running to the beat of his life
Where he learned the tricks of the night
He had to prove his daddy was right
But he got better at, better at picking up knives
And I'll never understand (Picking up knives)
Never see him as a man (Picking up knives)
There was beauty in his eyes (Picking up knives)
(Picking up, sticking up, picking up)
I will never say good bye (Sticking up, picking up knives)
