  • I'm a switchblade cuttin' through an open space
    Need a reminder, you start to feel like a graze
    Life with blinders doesn't seem to fit the pace
    Do you start the fight or take the flight?
    Feeling upset, can I choose to phone a friend?
    Growing up just means to fuck everything up again
    Take my switchblade, self-defence is to be brave

    Do you start the fight or take the flight?
    Is it wrong or right to try?

    Do either, seether with this anger
    Can't control this fever
    That just takes it out of me
    Takes it out of me

    Feeling worn thin, can I learn to trust again?
    Growing old just seems to break everythin' that we mend
    Hold my lighter, courage flicker, burn and fade

    Do you start the fight or take the flight?
    Is it wrong or right to try?

    Do either, seether with this anger
    Can't control this fever
    That just takes it out of me
    Either seether with this anger
    Can't control this fever
    That just takes it out of me
    Takes it out of me

    (I'm a switchblade cuttin' through an open space)
    (Need a reminder, you start to feel like a graze)
    (Life with blinders doesn't seem to fit the pace)
    (I'm a switchblade cuttin' through an open space)
    (Need a reminder, you start to feel like a graze)
