Working For The Knife Song Lyrics by Mitski
I cry at the start of every movieI guess ’cause I wish I was making things tooBut I’m working for the knife
I used to think I would tell storiesBut nobody cared for the stories I had aboutNo good guys
I always knew the world moves onI just didn’t know it would go without meI 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 twentyNow at twenty-nine, the road ahead appears the sameThough maybe at thirty, I’ll see a way to changeThat I’m living for the knife
I always thought the choice was mineAnd I was right, but I just chose wrongI start the day lying and end with the truthThat I’m dying for the knife
