Knights of the Dinner Table004

(Verse 1)
Even though I know
It’s not black cats scratching at the door,
Or killers in the floorboards,
Even though I know
My mind doesn’t always run parallel to yours,
I’m still tinkering toward safety,
We’re still working for more.

(Pre-Chorus)
This life didn’t come with a manual,
Or mentors beyond the voices in our hearts,
Getting tangled in nightmares,
Putting masks on our metacognition.

(Chorus)
I’d love you as who I was,
I love you as I am,
And I’ll love you as who I’m becoming

(Fry Scream)
Forever human,
Forever yours.


(Verse 2)
We learned to flinch before we learned to rest,
To brace for impact, to expect the worst,
We found a love that’s not sharp as a blade
And a home doesn’t hurt.
There’s no ghost in a kitchen light,
No enemies here, no need to fight

(Fiddle solo after second chorus) 
⸻

(Bridge)
We’re veterans of wars that are over,
No longer need for battle,
It’s okay to put the sword down baby,
It’s okay to lay down arms.
(Fry Scream)
We’re safe here,
We’re home,
I’m not going anywhere
Forever human forever yours

(Fiddle solo after second chorus)
⸻

(Final Chorus)
I’d love you as who I was,
I love you as I am,
I’ll you love who I’m becoming—(fry scream) with your hand in my hand
Every break, every plan.
Not perfect, just ours,
Forever human,
Forever yours.
