Knives in Cartoons Lyrics

Bird shadows in the state
Look out for your fortune
There’s a million market men with knives sharpening kids in old cartoons
Yeah they land on the moon
We could progress right through you
With that satellite view
Come watch our sex get swallowed
We kiss in open cuts
You’re too nice to touch
I wanna share our blood
I think it’s you they want

I really love your hate
I think it’s something worth saving
In their eyes all the money
All the clothes in your house
Where we made love on our couch
Where the burnt shadows land
And the ships cave in

We kiss in open cuts
You’re too nice to touch
I wanna share our blood
I think it’s you they want

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
