Lyrics
0:11I cry at the start of every movie
0:17I guess 'cause I wish I was making things too
0:23But I'm working for the knife
0:34I used to think I would tell stories
0:40But nobody cared for the stories I had about
0:47No good guys
0:51I always knew the world moves on
0:57I just didn't know it would go without me
1:03I start the day high and it ends so low
1:09'Cause I'm working for the knife
1:32I used to think I'd be done by twenty
1:38Now at twenty-nine the road ahead appears the same
1:44Though maybe at thirty I'll see a way to change
1:49That I'm living for the knife
1:55I always thought the choice was mine
2:02And I was right but I just chose wrong
2:06I start the day lying and end with the truth
2:12That I'm dying for the knife
I cry at the start of every movie I guess 'cause I wish I was making things too But I'm working for the knife I used to think I would tell stories But nobody cared for the stories I had about No good guys I always knew the world moves on I just didn't know it would go without me I start the day high and it ends so low 'Cause I'm working for the knife I used to think I'd be done by twenty Now at twenty-nine the road ahead appears the same Though maybe at thirty I'll see a way to change That I'm living for the knife I always thought the choice was mine And I was right but I just chose wrong I start the day lying and end with the truth That I'm dying for the knife
