A desperate cry for help, “Dull Knives” serves as the ninth track from Imagine Dragons' fifth studio album, Mercury – Act 1.
One of the more rock-induced tracks in the band’s entire discography, many elements in the instrumentation and production are reminiscent of their 2010 EP, Hell and Silence....
[Verse 1]
I'm holding my breath, holding so tight
Nothing is wrong, nothing is right
I'm in the dark, looking for light
Won't someone please save my life?
Inside, I'm a mess, but I don't let it show
I'm just hanging on, but you'd never know
I smile all day, and cry through the night
Won't someone please save my
Life is fleeting
[Chorus]
Dull knives taking my life
A slow burn fire from the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
They're taking their time, time
'Til I lose my mind
[Verse 2]
A smoldering flame, deep in my heart
Barely a sign, it's barely a spark
Holding on through every night
Won't someonе please save my lifе?
I'm crying for help, it's such a cliché
Invisible pain, it's filling each day
I open my mouth and feed you a lie
Won't someone please save
My life is fleeting, no repeating
[Chorus]
Dull knives taking my life
A slow burn fire from the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
They're taking their time, time
'Til I lose my mind
[Bridge]
Dull knives ripping from the inside
Spare me the ride
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
From the inside
Dull knives twisting my spine
They're taking their time, time
'Til I lose my mind

For the Mercury ARG, Dan joined the official discord server of r/imaginedragons and posted some of the lyrics to “Dull Knives”:
[My wife] brings out more vulnerability for me than anybody else. I feel completely able to be 100% my most vulnerable self with her, so I don’t even know that I would have gone to that place [in the chorus] without Aja coaxing me, like, “Hey—say what you’re thinking! Say what you’re feeling! Don’t...
