Knife Still Breathing

Intro (hoarse, half-screamed)
Yeah—
Don’t pull it out.
It’s the only thing keeping me upright.

Verse 1
Feel like a knife in my back when I breathe your name,
Twist when I move, yeah it don’t feel the same.
I walk crooked, love got me limping through days,
Every step another price that I gladly pay.
You ain’t here but you heavy as hell,
Like a ghost with hands, yeah you holding my chest.
I try to quit you like a habit I hate,
But I fold every time when I taste that ache.

Pre-Chorus (voice cracking)
I don’t need you—liar in my throat,
I don’t want you—say it like a joke.
Every thought another dose,
I keep pushing till I overdose.

Chorus (screamed, raspy)
I’m overdosing on your love and lust,
Body shaking, heart full of rust.
Knife in my back and I still crawl to you,
Yeah I bleed obsession, what else can I do?
It hurts to want you, hurts to breathe,
Hurts knowing you don’t hurt like me.
I’d take the pain if it keeps you close,
I’d die slow off another dose.

Verse 2
I see your face when I shut my eyes,
Like my mind got stuck in the worst rewind.
You touch my soul and you don’t even try,
Just existing got me begging inside.
I don’t sleep, I crash and burn,
Dreams taste like you, yeah they always hurt.
My love ain’t clean, it’s cracked and bent,
It cuts me open just to feel intense.

Bridge (spoken, breaking down)
Say I’m sick—I know.
Say I’m weak—I know.
But don’t act like you don’t feel it too,
I just bleed louder than you do.
You’re not the knife…
You’re the hand that won’t let go.

Chorus (screamed, layered)
I’m overdosing on your love and lust,
Heart pounding hard, lungs filling with dust.
Knife in my back and I still won’t run,
Pain feels better than feeling numb.
I hate how bad I need your touch,
Hate how it never feels like enough.
If loving you’s what ruins me most,
Then let me rot from the overdose.

Outro (quiet, wrecked)
They say pull the blade, let it heal with time…
But if it stops hurting, you won’t be mine.
So I leave it there, deep in my spine—
At least the pain proves I’m alive.
