Knives

I’m the blade, baby, sharp and clean,
A sweet little cut, know what I mean?
I slide through your skin, gentle, slow,
And make you think there’s beauty in letting go.
Feel the sting, it’s a kiss, it’s a thrill,
I’ll carve away the noise, let you be still.
You think I’m the enemy, but I’m your friend,
I’ll be right here with you, until the end.
I make the pain dance, I make it sing,
Like the lies in your head, I’m the realest thing.
When the world’s too loud, I’m a quiet sound,
I’ll lift you up, just to pull you down.
I’m the edge of deceit, the whisper in your ear,
I feed on your fear, make the dark so clear.
I cut through the truth, make the lies taste sweet,
I’m the blade in your hand, I’m the devil at your feet.
I’m your escape, I’m your escape.
I promise a release, a little drop of red,
But I’m hungry, darling, and I’ll be fed.
Every time you reach, every time you press,
I’m the beautiful lie in your mess.
I make you feel alive, when you’re barely there,
You touch me once, and you don’t care.
I’ll take you places, where you can’t breathe,
Wrap you up in the dark, and never leave.
I make the pain dance, I make it sing,
Like the lies in your head, I’m the realest thing.
When the world’s too loud, I’m a quiet sound,
I’ll lift you up, just to pull you down.
Chorus:
I’m the edge of deceit, the whisper in your ear,
I feed on your fear, make the dark so clear.
I cut through the truth, make the lies taste sweet,
I’m the blade in your hand, I’m the devil at your feet.
I’m your escape, I’m your escape.
Bridge:
Mass media, another cut, another slice,
Feeding you poison, sugar-coated lies.
They paint the wounds, they make ‘em glow,
Make you think you’re in control, but you don’t know.
I’m the mirror, the reflection you hate,
The sick fascination, the click-bait fate.
I show you the blood, I show you the sheen,
I’m the only escape you’ve ever seen.
I’m the edge of deceit, the whisper in your ear,
I feed on your fear, make the dark so clear.
I cut through the truth, make the lies taste sweet,
I’m the blade in your hand, I’m the devil at your feet.
I’m your escape, I’m your escape.
So, press a little harder, let me in,
I’m the darkest pleasure, the secret sin.
I’ll promise you relief, but I’ll take it all,
I’m the sweet descent, the gentle fall.
I’m the edge of deceit, your silent scream,
The sharp reality in your darkest dream.
I’ll cut you deep, I’ll make you see,
I’m the only escape that’ll set you free.
