Song Lyrics "Inches from the Knife"

INCHES FROM THE KNIFE

Heal me with your poison
Pleasant is your sting
Graze me with your bullet
Hide me in your wing

Healing lacerations
Scares are now within
Feeling reservation
Don’t know where I’ve been

I can’t believe I’m smiling

So go on and tell me another lie, tonight
Just makes me feel everything’s all right
So go on and tell me another lie, well all right
Cause my wrist is inches from the knife

Bandaged by your anger
Wrapped up in a grin
Caught up in the middle
Then out of it again

Raining in the bathroom
Clouds are at the door
Looking in the mirror
Shackled to the floor

I can’t believe I’m smiling

So go on and tell me another lie, tonight
Just makes me feel everything’s all right
So go on and tell me another lie, well all right
Cause my wrist is inches from the knife

Mid July my doctor’s high
Don’t you know that bullets fly when worlds collide?
Everybody’s looking for a new messiah
Never gonna find the thing that gets me high
Live to laugh but always cry
Don’t you know that love can live and always dies?
Holding on to anything just to survive
Now I’m gonna take a pill to feel alive

I can’t believe I’m smiling
I can’t believe I’m smiling

So go on and tell me another lie, tonight
Just makes me feel everything’s all right
So go on and tell me another lie, well all right
Cause my wrist is inches from the knife
Cause my wrist is inches from the knife
Yeah my wrist is inches from the knife
