Lyrics
Mitski - Working For The Knife
Album: 'Laurel Hell' (2022)

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.
