lyrics

Life is a razor blade
I guess I went a little far
Put me in a metal frame, or a ruby colored jar
I’m amazed, may I somehow be explained
Emotions leave me in the rain and run over by a car
A bad migraine mixed with anxious pain
Cold depression chains always in the queue

No one knew what I could really do.
Until they read the blogs and saw me on the local news
For a second or two the whole city cried
Swore to never let me die, but you know how people lie

Life is a razor blade
Far better than a live grenade
A photo in a metal frame fading in the light
I was a pretty sight, ever brighter in the light at night
But I couldn’t tame the blade or make it go away
The big mistake served with frosted cake
Plastic forks and plates floating in the lake

No one knew what I could really be
Then I hit the Jubilee and a hundred million camera feeds
For a second or three the whole world cried
Swore to never let it die but you know how people lie

Life is a razor blade
May I be excused
Take me by hurricane, or a lion on the loose
It really cooked my goose
Wrapped me happy in a ruby noose
Told me everything was fine then watched me die online
One big dream and told girl your so strange
You can’t pre explain the falling of the sky

No one knew that I was really right
But when everything went white we all drifted into afterlife
For a second or less the whole world confessed
Said we’re sorry and surprised but you know how people lie
