Courage of the Knife Lyrics

Cover art for Courage of the Knife lyrics by Senses Fail

Buddy is highly influenced by 20th century mythologist, Joseph Campbell. I remember Joseph Campbell making a reference in an interview about how he was trying to explain to a radio host that God is a metaphor, and the host got defensive like he thought Joe was discrediting "God" So Joe let him have it. Then Joe realized he was in the wrong for attacking the host. He made a comment after it was all said and done, that he had courage with the knife, but not with the blood. Like after you do something to someone to discredit them, you don't want to face it.

Interesting use of JoCamp's quotes throughout the Senses Fail discography.
