Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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'd never know
I smile all day, and cry through the night
Won't someone please save my
Life? Is fleeting
[Chorus]
Dull knives taking my life
A slow burn fire from the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
They're taking their time, time
'Til I lose my mind
[Verse 2]
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? Is fleeting, no repeating
[Chorus]
Dull knives taking my life
A slow burn fire from the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
They're taking their time, time
'Til I lose my mind
[Bridge]
Dull knives ripping from the inside
Spare me the ride
[Outro]
From the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
They're taking their time, time
'Til I lose my mind
Dull knives
