Dull Knives Cut Better Lyrics
The rush that's in my veins
I can’t control it
Tell me why
This voice that's in my head is getting stronger
Tell me how
The aching in my bones is taking over
Tell me why
My blood ain't spilling red I’m freaking out
Feeling for nothing at all
'Cause I found out dull knives cut better
Choke on all my scarlet letters
Don't know what I'm feeling anymore
Needles piercing through my brain
Slowly inflicting the pain
I'm plucking roses but keeping the thorns
The truth sinks deeper slipping through my fingers
Tell me why
Pain's ripping up my skin, can't take it back now
Tell me how
Am I supposed to understand? Oh, help me
Tell me why
I hate to live like this, can't save me now
Feeling for nothing at all
I found out dull knives cut better
Choke on all my scarlet letters
Don’t know what I’m feeling anymore
Needles piercing through my brain
Slowly increasing the pain
I'm plucking roses but keeping the thorns
I can’t control it
Tell me why
This voice that's in my head is getting stronger
Tell me how
The aching in my bones is taking over
Tell me why
My blood ain't spilling red I’m freaking out
Feeling for nothing at all
Choke on all my scarlet letters
Don't know what I'm feeling anymore
Slowly inflicting the pain
I'm plucking roses but keeping the thorns
Tell me why
Pain's ripping up my skin, can't take it back now
Tell me how
Am I supposed to understand? Oh, help me
Tell me why
I hate to live like this, can't save me now
Feeling for nothing at all
I found out dull knives cut better
Choke on all my scarlet letters
Don’t know what I’m feeling anymore
Slowly increasing the pain
I'm plucking roses but keeping the thorns

In Dull Knives, the Queen is losing control and seriously considering suicide. In the previous song, Sinister Smiles, she’s already said “. . . grab the dagger. Cut through skin and stain the water”. This is a very “feminine” way to commit suicide-- in the tub, maybe a bubble bath, so that the blood from slashed wrists remains in the tub and does not dirty the house. I assume dull knives cut “better” because they cause more pain, and at this point she is self-mutilating. She realizes that her evil side is winning. She is losing it.
