Lyrics:
I sob at the beginning of every motion picture
I guess ’cause I wish I was making things too
But I’m employed by the knife

I used to think I would tell tales
But no one cared for the tales I had about
No good people

I always knew the world moves on
I just did not know it would go without any me
I start the day high and it finishes so low
‘Cause I’m employed by the knife

I used to think I’d be done by 20
Now at 29 the street ahead appears the same
Though perhaps at 30 I’ll see a way to change
That I’m living for the knife

I always believed the selection was mine
And I was right but I just chose mistaken
I start the day lying and end with the truth
That I’m dying for the knife
