Working For The Knife Lyrics - Mitski

I cry at the start of every movie
I guess ‘cuz I wish
I was making things too
But I am working for the knife

I used too 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 & it ends so low

‘cuz I am working for the knife

I used too think I’d be done by twenty
Now at twenty-nine the road ahead appears the same
Though maybe at thirty I will see a way too change
That I am 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 am dying for the knife
Ahhh!
