Stain On The Switchblade Lyrics

You wanna raise a fortune
And still be free
You wanna touch the limelight
But you can't take the heat

You look for victims
With stardust in your eyes
Hold on like a parasite
With your rehearsed lies

I hear you talking
Still I'm not listening

You're telling me stories of lost innocence
Forgetting the stain on your switchblade is red
The stain on your switchblade

Behind the mask of anger
A lonely child
Beyond the heart of darkness
Just a face in the crowd

Inside the castle
You feel you somehow count
Remember the broken hearts
Can you hear their sound

I hear you talking
Still I'm not listening

You're telling me stories of lost innocence
Forgetting the stain on your switchblade is red
You're telling me stories of lost innocence
Forgetting the stain on your switchblade is red

[solo]

You're telling me stories of lost innocence
Forgetting the stain on your switchblade is red
You're telling me stories so bent out of shape
Forgetting the stain on your switchblade is red
The stain of your switchblade
Switchblade
Switchblade

Wrath Of A Warchild

You wanna raise a fortune
And still be free
You wanna touch the limelight
But you can't take the heat

You look for victims
With stardust in your eyes
Hold on like a parasite
With your rehearsed lies

I hear you talking
Still I'm not listening

You're telling me stories of lost innocence
Forgetting the stain on your switchblade is red
The stain on your switchblade

Behind the mask of anger
A lonely child
Beyond the heart of darkness
Just a face in the crowd

Inside the castle
You feel you somehow count
Remember the broken hearts
Can you hear their sound

I hear you talking
Still I'm not listening

You're telling me stories of lost innocence
Forgetting the stain on your switchblade is red
You're telling me stories of lost innocence
Forgetting the stain on your switchblade is red

[solo]

You're telling me stories of lost innocence
Forgetting the stain on your switchblade is red
You're telling me stories so bent out of shape
Forgetting the stain on your switchblade is red
The stain of your switchblade
Switchblade

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.
