F#                                 A#
I'm holding my breath, holding so tight
                             D#m
Nothing is wrong, nothing is right
                             C#
I'm in the dark, looking for light
                             F#
Won't someone please save my life?
                                         A#
Inside, I'm a mess, but I don't let it show
                                     D#m
I'm just hanging on, but you'd never know
                                     C#
I smile all day, and cry through the night
Won't someone please save my life is fleeting

Chorus:
F#                     A#
Dull knives taking my life
            D#m             C#
A slow burn fire from the inside
F#                        A#
Dull knives twisting my spine
                         D#m
And they're taking their time, time
                C#
'Til I lose my mind

A smoldering flame, deep in my heart
Barely a sign, it's barely a spark
Holding on through every night
Won't someone please save my life?
I'm crying for help, it's such a cliché
Invisible pain, it's filling each day
I open my mouth and feed you a lie
Won't someone please save
My life is fleeting, no repeating

Chorus

F#     A#
Dull knives
D#m
Ripping from the inside
C#
Spare me the ride

            C#
From the inside
F#                       A#
Dull knives twisting my spine
                         D#m
And they're taking their time, time
               C#
'Til I lose my mind
Dull knives
