[Verse 1]

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 we get knocked so loose?

Knocked so loose

Someone I swear I'll 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

[Refrain]

And it's all disappearing, and it all falls apart

And it seems like the ending is a lot like the start

[Verse 2]

Nature has its own rules, like gravity crushin' me

And liars are robbed of memory

Lately, it's a little hard for me to believe

At least you left a mark on me

[Refrain]

And I think there's a reason, at least, there's a sign

And all that we call chaos I will say is by design

But I'm just lyin'

[Chorus]

What you need is a sharp knife soul

To come back down from an all-time low

Seems like I'm 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

[Post-Chorus]

A shiv

A shiv

A shiv

A shiv

[Verse 3]

So, new friend, can you hear this?

Can we return to fearless?

Merry pranksters one and all

And walk that devil down the hall

[Refrain]

Yes, it's all disappearing, and we should all just go along

And all would be so easy if we could say, "Just let it be"

But that's not me

[Chorus]

What you need is a sharp knife soul

You can crawl out of an all-time low

Seems like I'm 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

[Post-Chorus]

A shiv

A shiv

A shiv

A shiv

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

What you need is a sharp knife soul

To come back down from an all-time low

Seems like I'm 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

[Post-Chorus]

A shiv

A shiv

A shiv
