Dull Knives
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm holding my breath, holding so tight
Nothing is wrong, nothing is right
I'm in the dark, looking for light
Won't someone please save my life?
Inside I'm a mess, but I don't let it show
I'm just hanging on, but you'll never know
I smile all day, and cry through the night
Won't someone, please, save my life?
It's fleeting
Dull knives taking my life
A slow burn fire from the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
They're taking their time, time
Till I lose my mind
A smoldering flame, deep in my heart
Barely a sign, it's barely a spark
Holding on through, every night
Won't someone, please, save my life?
I'm crying for help, it's such a cliché
Invisible pain, it's filling each day
I open my mouth and feed you a lie
Won't someone, please, save my life?
It's fleeting, no repeating
Dull knives taking my life
A slow burn fire from the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
And they're taking their time, time
Till I lose my mind
Dull knives
Ripping from the inside
Spare me the ride
From the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
And they're taking their time, time
Till I lose my mind
Dull knives
