Knives Lyrics
Let the madness begin
Living with snakes
Feeding the hate
Kill the betrayal
Shedding of skin
Bitter within
Cower in shame
Venomous tongue
Blacken the lungs
Inducing the pain
Inducing the pain
Constant pushing provoking reactions
Bring out the knives
To cut and divide
Another scar for memory
Bring out the knives
To cut and divide
Let 'em bleed, watch 'em burn in the fire
Digging a hole
Bury the trust
Lay it to rest
Swallow the dirt
Breathe in the dust
Savour the taste
Hammer the nails
Nothing to save
Walking away
Walking away from
Constant screaming, provoking, it's madness
Bring out out the knives
To cut and divide
Another scar for memory
Bring out the knives
To cut and divide
Let 'em bleed, watch 'em burn in the fire
Bring out the knives (Knives)
To cut and divide
Another scar for memory
Bring out the knives (Knives)
To cut and divide
Let 'em bleed, watch 'em burn in the fire
(So keep on digging your own grave)
(Now just focus on the pain)
So keep on digging your own grave
I see the panic, it's sickening
You're not a saint, not a slave
Now just focus on the pain
I hear the voices, they're calling
To sever, forever, insanity
You're not a saint, you're a slave
Breaking apart
Torn at the seems
Sanity fails
Dragged by the edge
Pushed into Hell
Never again
(Never again)
Constant pushing, provoking reactions
Bring out the knives
To cut and divide
Another scar for memory
Bring out the knives
To cut and divide
Let 'em bleed, watch 'em burn in the fire
Bring out the knives (Knives)
To cut and divide
Another scar for memory
Bring out the knives (Knives)
To cut and divide
Let 'em bleed, let 'em burn
Bring out the knives
Just swallow the dirt
And breathe in the dust
Now savour the taste
No walking away
No walking away
Bring out the knives
Feeding the hate
Kill the betrayal
Shedding of skin
Bitter within
Cower in shame
Venomous tongue
Blacken the lungs
Inducing the pain
Constant pushing provoking reactions
To cut and divide
Another scar for memory
Bring out the knives
To cut and divide
Let 'em bleed, watch 'em burn in the fire
Bury the trust
Lay it to rest
Swallow the dirt
Breathe in the dust
Savour the taste
Hammer the nails
Nothing to save
Walking away
Constant screaming, provoking, it's madness
To cut and divide
Another scar for memory
Bring out the knives
To cut and divide
Let 'em bleed, watch 'em burn in the fire
To cut and divide
Another scar for memory
Bring out the knives (Knives)
To cut and divide
Let 'em bleed, watch 'em burn in the fire
(Now just focus on the pain)
I see the panic, it's sickening
You're not a saint, not a slave
Now just focus on the pain
I hear the voices, they're calling
To sever, forever, insanity
Torn at the seems
Sanity fails
Dragged by the edge
Pushed into Hell
Never again
(Never again)
Constant pushing, provoking reactions
To cut and divide
Another scar for memory
Bring out the knives
To cut and divide
Let 'em bleed, watch 'em burn in the fire
To cut and divide
Another scar for memory
Bring out the knives (Knives)
To cut and divide
Let 'em bleed, let 'em burn
Bring out the knives
And breathe in the dust
Now savour the taste
No walking away
No walking away
Bring out the knives

What the band's vocalist 'Matt Tuck' is speaking to, most simply put, is the concept of human beings being untrustworthy. That is the impression I get dealing with terminology such as “living with snakes” and references to a “venomous tongue”, not to mention more overt wording like “kill” and “betrayal”. And what it appears Matt is saying is that via such unfavorable characteristics, we tend to destroy our own interpersonal relationships. And “bring out the knives” would be a metaphor for what happens afterwards, i.e. us making a conscientious effort “to cut” the memories of said relationship out of our minds – so to speak, or something like that.
