[Verse 1]
Cracked my tooth on a cough drop
Winter stuck around after it's gone
Grocery store on Christmas
Parked too close to someone to get out
[Verse 2]
Foreign coins machine won't take
Cash out what we could to pay the rent
Drunken dark is broken
Sometimes it feels like it will never end
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Did you think we'd make it?
Can't budge the water down the broken drain
Firing the wedding band
One day, I'll kill the bitch inside my brain
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Threw up in the pit at a Death Grips show
In a bottle spit dip and tell dirty jokes
You keep on feeding that Afrin addiction
Squeezing the bottle and burning from itching
[Bridge]
When you pick up that knife, you were askin' for a fight
Mouthed off to those bikers at a vacant stoplight
They'll meet you outside, they'll meet you outside
They'll meet you outside, they'll meet you outside
[Verse 5]
Thought you'd get shipped home in a full-body cast
Never could get your head out of your ass
Baptised to freedom and born in bondage
Had to bury you deep to keep the dogs from diggin'
[Outro]
They'll meet you outside, they'll meet you outside
They'll meet you outside, they'll meet you outside
They'll meet you outside, they'll meet you outside
They'll meet you outside, they'll meet you outside
They'll meet you outside, they'll meet you outside
They'll meet you outside, they'll meet you outside

Karly Hatzman:
‘Pick Up That Knife’ is a song that revolves around feelings of helplessness, when every minor inconvenience hurts double cause you’re close to giving up. It’s also about when our pedal steel player Xandy threw up in the moshpit during the Death Grips set at Primavera Sound in 2023.
