    Verse 1
    I 
    hit 
    the cul- 
    de- sac 

    on 
    the 
    spir
    itual 
    path 

    Retraced 
    my 
    steps 
    back 
    home 

    But the 
    house 
    burned 
    down 

    before 
    I 
    got 
    there 

    And 
    I

    myself 
    alone 

    Verse 2

    I 
    tried 
    to keep 
    things 
    in 
    perspect
    ive 

    As 
    I 
    hunted 
    down 
    the perpetrator 

    Loaded 
    up 
    my 
    toolkit with 

    every 
    hateful 
    instrument 

    Now 
    here 
    we

    thirty 
    years 
    later

    I'm 
    getting 
    into 
    knives 
    Verse 3

    I'm 
    getting 
    into 
    knives 

    I've 
    been 
    up 
    and 
    down 
    the buffet 

    several 
    different 
    times 

    I'm 
    adjusting 
    my 
    focus, 

    I'm 
    getting 
    into 
    knives 

    Verse 4

    dom 
    from 

    the sages 

    Consul
    ted 
    with 
    master 
    tacti
    cians 

    Met 
    up 
    with 
    some 
    guys 
    who 
    wouldn't 

    tell 
    me 
    their 
    last 
    names 

    They specialized 
    in 
    non- 

    conventional 
    muni
    tions 

    Verse 5

    Stayed 
    on 
    the scent 
    like 

    a blood
    hound 

    Followed 
    the clues 
    where 

    they 
    led 

    Taste 
    of 
    hot 
    ashes 
    on 
    my 
    tongue 
    all 
    day 

    I took 
    my 
    rifle 
    with 
    me 
    to 
    bed 

    Verse 6

    But I'm 
    getting 
    into 
    knives 


    I'm 
    getting 
    into 
    knives 

    It's 
    a 
    gift 
    to 
    be 
    sim
    ple, 

    it's 
    a 
    gift 
    to 
    be 
    free 

    I'm 
    adjusting 
    my 
    focus, 

    I'm 
    getting 
    into 
    knives 

    Verse 7

    Held 
    to 
    my 
    vision 
    all 
    these 
    days 

    While 
    stray 
    signals 
    kept 
    flooding 

    the switchboard 

    Came 
    all 
    this 
    way 
    for 
    hun
    ger 

    Verse 8
    May 
    I 
    be 
    worthy 
    of 
    my 
    reward 

    I 
    stood 
    at 
    the door, 

    and 
    I 
    listene
    d 

    Rustled 
    through 
    my 
    ruck
    sack 

    as 
    quiet 
    as 
    I 
    could 

    You 
    can't 
    give 
    me 
    back 
    what 

    you've 
    taken 

    But you 
    can 
    give 
    me something 

    that's 
    almost 
    as 
    good 

    Verse 9

    getting 
    into 
    knives 

    I am 
    getting 
    into 
    knives 

    Behold, 
    I stand 
    at 
    the 
    door, 

    and 
    I 
    knock
    , 
    and 
    then I 
    knock 
    twice 

    I've 
    adjusted 
    my 
    focus, 

    I'm 
    getting 
    into 
    knives

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
