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
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
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
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
Dull knives
Ripping from the inside
Spare me the ride
From the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
And they're taking their time, time
'Til I lose my mind
Dull knives
