Under the Knife (刀刃之下) (Explicit) - Icon For Hire[00:00:00]
Written by:Ariel Bloomer[00:00:00]
This is the song I'm too scared to write[00:00:00]
But some of you may need it tonight[00:00:06]
Oh there you were heart made of glass[00:00:12]
Fragile little thing shattered too fast[00:00:14]
Tried to pick the pieces up up up[00:00:17]
And that's the way you first got cut cut cut[00:00:20]
Devil drew you in you didn't let it show[00:00:23]
Didn't want the others to ever have to know[00:00:26]
That you were getting hooked on up up up[00:00:29]
And all you had to do was cut cut cut[00:00:32]
You carved a special place for your pain[00:00:35]
So it came back to hurt you every night[00:00:40]
You closed your eyes and wished it all away[00:00:46]
Until you disappeared under the knife[00:00:52]
You knew the deal no one gives a damn[00:00:57]
Just another needy kid sob story in hand[00:01:00]
Keep your secrets covered up up up[00:01:03]
We don't need another cut cut cut[00:01:06]
But you couldn't hide a heart made of glass[00:01:09]
You put yourself together with all the strength you had[00:01:12]
You were finally fed up up up[00:01:14]
Finally had to scream enough enough enough[00:01:17]
You carved a special place for your pain[00:01:20]
So it came back to hurt you every night[00:01:26]
You closed your eyes and wished it all away[00:01:32]
Until you disappeared under the knife[00:01:38]
Listen[00:01:47]
I know it's simplified from the other side[00:01:47]
It's easy to gloss over all the messy reasons why[00:01:50]
And it's easy to forget where you've been[00:01:53]
I guess that's what the scars are for huh[00:01:55]
When we were 15 we wouldn't dare let that sh*t be seen[00:01:58]
But now it seems mutalation's gone mainstream[00:02:02]
I see you at my shows scarred up from head to toe[00:02:05]
Like there's no point even trying not to let it show[00:02:07]
Cause we all know emo kids like to hurt themselves[00:02:10]
Too many feelings and not enough self control[00:02:13]
And I mean does this mess any of the rest of you[00:02:16]
It's an epidemic and we're cool with it don't question it[00:02:19]
But it bothers me our scars are currency by which we're measured[00:02:22]
Like let the record show who let it slip and who held it together[00:02:25]
Cutters and burners and honorable mentions[00:02:28]
Posers who still cut themselves up for the attention[00:02:31]
I don't care your intentions I just want you to know[00:02:33]
Myself hatred never took me where I wanted to go[00:02:36]
And at the end of the day you know I still had to face[00:02:39]
That I can pick at the pain but can't cut it away[00:02:42]
And you know what else[00:02:45]
I can't do is give you ten good reasons not to[00:02:46]
I've racked my brain for clever sayings of all the things[00:02:48]
You ought to do[00:02:50]
But you know I think if there was something I could say[00:02:51]
They'd have thrown it on a brochure and sent you on your way[00:02:54]
So I'll keep doing what I always do[00:02:57]
Drag my heart to the piano and make it sing for you[00:03:00]
I'll keep doing what I always do[00:03:03]
Drag my heart to the piano and let it sing for you[00:03:05]
Drag my heart to the piano and let it sing for you[00:03:29]
