"Working For The Knife" lyrics
"Working For The Knife"
I cry at the start of every movie
I guess 'cause I wish I was making things too
But I'm working for the knife
I used to 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 and it ends so low
'Cause I'm working for the knife
I used to think I'd be done by 20
Now at 29 the road ahead appears the same
Though maybe at 30 I'll see a way to change
That I'm 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'm dying for the knife
Writer(s): Mitsuki Laycock
Mitski told Rolling Stone of "Working For The Knife" released on the 5th of October, 2021, "It's about going from being a kid with a dream, to a grown-up with a job, and feeling that somewhere along the way you got left behind. It's being confronted with a world that doesn't seem to recognize your humanity, and seeing no way out of it."

beabadoobee - "She Plays Bass" Hey, won't you call me back?
'Cause I've been waiting for a text back
It hurts my brain
This chick who plays bass
She plays bass, she plays bass
Nothing matters 'cause we're both in space
Pretty...
Frankie Cosmos - "Sappho" From the street I see your window
And I look up in
And is that even your house?
Is that Sappho you're reading?
Is it cool when I don't care?
Can you feel me in the air?
Under the crack in the door...
Angel Olsen - "Some Things Cosmic" Before we draw
My dear dear friend
I promise you my
Word
If we should part
My dear dear love, you
Know you're in my
heart
And though I may be getting older
Know that I'm going with you
Know that...
Beach House - "Space Song" It was late at night
You held on tight
From an empty seat
A flash of light
It will take a while
To make you smile
Somewhere in these eyes
I'm on your side
You wide-eyed girls
You get it right
Fall...
The Neighbourhood - "Stargazing" Take it from the top
If I start, I just can't stop
All the patience that I've got
It's not enough to save me
It's a race against the clock
But we don't wanna watch
Keep running 'til we're lost
You...
