Sharp Knife

Time tick tick ticks after me
My mp3 is out of juice
I wrote a song for you but what's the use
How did I not so loose, not so loose
Someone I swore I'd never be
Who trades his dreams for security
Walks this city blindly
Lately it's a little hard for me to see
Lately it's a little hard for me to believe
And it's all disappearing
And it all falls apart
And it seems like the ending
Is a lot like the start
Well nature has its own rules
Like gravity that's crushing me
And lies, I'm of the memory
Lately it's a little hard for me to believe
At least you left a mark on me
And I think there's a reason
At least there's a sign
And all that we call chaos
I will say it's by design
But I'm just lying
What you need is a sharp knife, son
To come back down from an all time low
Seems like I'm not the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful, you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knife... to cut
A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv.
So new friend can you hear this?
Can we return to fearless?
Merry pranksters one and all
I'll chase that devil down the hall
Yes it's all disappearing
And we should all just go along
And it all would be so easy
If we could just say, "let it be"
But that's not me
What you need is a sharp knife, son
You can come back down from an all time low
Seems like I'm not the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful, you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knife
A sharp knife... to cut
A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv,
A shiv.
What you need is a sharp knife son
To can come back down from an all time low
Seems like I'm not the only one
I wish I was a sharp knife
Swing that blade right through my life
Careful you could hurt someone
I wish I was a sharp knife
A sharp knife
To cut
I said it
I said it
I said it
I said!
