Splinter - Intellectual

[Intro: James Graham, Scott Hutchison]

Uh, are you ready, James?

Um, (one, two) yes

[Verse 1: James Graham]

I'll take whatever your dirty mouth can ask

And I'll take the splinters if you only miss my eyes

And we can hold the fire

We can hold the fire

We can hold the fire till it burns out

Weak and only fire

We held the fire till it burned out

And I can take the cutting

And if you only miss my heart

I braved the winter, I did everything you asked

Still have the splintеr but it never left a mark

Thеre's no way, there's no way

You can be in all I ask, you can be in all I ask

And I'm just passing through

Won't be the last

Now you're running down the front path

Holding all I have

And I can take the cutting

And if you only miss my heart

If it all amounts to nothing

And I'll always wear the scars

Cause I always took the cutting

And you only missed my heart

Although it amounts to nothing

The nothing's left its mark

I'll walk you to the darkest corner
