Sharp Objects

Baby listen to me before you open your veins
Nothing lasts forever, not even this pain
Don't you wonder what you could've achieved
If you were just normal and didn't want to bleed
Sing the blues at 13 you were only a child
When it all made sense though you'd been down for awhile
Write your tragic prose and find an identity
In the characters that they don't see

Sharp objects they come with a price
You don't need to know what to do with razors and knives
And the needle in your arm won't make you fine
Sharp objects they're not worth your life

All your children are in hiding but they still call
Once a lover baby always in love you fall
Watch the glisten of the steel under the light
Grit your teeth and maybe you'll go down without a fight
You'll hold back the tears that only earned you screaming
You'll stay at a friend's to avoid a verbal beating
Playground bullies steal all your toys
But the ones who should love you steal all your joy

Sharp objects they come with a price
You don't need to know what to do with razors and knives
And the needle in your arm won't make you fine
Sharp objects they're not worth your life

Don't you know people count on you to be okay
How are you supposed to tell them that you can't stay
Things just aren't that simple can't slip into fantasy
And when it doesn't work you find that you can't breathe
Mask the darkness in you, wear a bright smile
Drive out to the country and keep going for miles
Maybe you'll return but you wish you didn't have to
You could make a life for yourself start anew

Sharp objects they come with a price
You don't need to know what to do with razors and knives
And the needle in your arm won't make you fine
Sharp objects they're not worth your life

And here you are back where you started 9 years ago
Where you've been for this long you don't remember so
You try to do your best
To make it hurt a little less

Sharp objects they come with a price
You don't need to know what to do with razors and knives
And the needle in your arm won't make you fine
Sharp objects they're not worth your life
Sharp objects they're not worth your time
