Connect The Dots - Knox Blackthorn

[Verse 1]

You don’t ask, you accuse

Like the answer’s already written

You zoom in on every silence

Like a crime scene in the kitchen

You read my face like subtitles

You catch a breath, you call it proof

And I’m standin’ in the doorway

Tryin’ not to move

[Pre-Chorus]

You got a mind that never sleeps

It just hunts

It don’t want peace

It wants blood

[Chorus]

You connect the dots in the dark

Till it looks like a map to hell

Take a shadow, give it a name

Then you swear you can smell her on me

You build a woman outta nothin’

Dress her up in all my mistakes

And you fall in love with the story

That you hate

[Verse 2]

It’s the same damn movie nightly

Just a different actress

Same lines, same “I know it”

Same trembling hands in madness

You say you “feel it” so it’s real

You say you “dreamed it” so it’s true

And I’m guilty in a court

That only answers to you

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Your fear wears my face

Your pain learns my name

Then it pulls the trigger anyway

[Chorus]

You connect the dots in the dark

Till it looks like a map to hell

Take a shadow, give it a name

Then you swear you can smell her on me

You build a woman outta nothin’

Dress her up in all my mistakes

And you fall in love with the story

That you hate

[Bridge]

I’ve watched you lie to yourself

Then call it “intuition”

Watched you dig a grave in your chest

And call it “protection”

I’m not your enemy

I’m just the man in the room

But you don’t want a husband

You want somebody to lose

So you pick the lock of my life

With a key made outta pain

And if there ain’t a reason to bleed

You’ll make one

[Break / Drop]

Who is she tonight?

What color’s her hair?

What town did I “meet her” in

While I was right here?

[Final Chorus]

You connect the dots in the dark

Till it looks like a map to hell

Take a shadow, give it a name

Then you swear you can smell her on me

You build a woman outta nothin’

Give her lips, give her my ring

And you let that ghost lay beside you

While I’m beggin’ you to breathe

Yeah you fall in love with the story

That you hate

[Outro]

Same loop

Same knife

Same “prove it”

Same night
