[Verse 1]
Being close
Melts you down to your true self
Realize that you're suspended by intent
Didn’t want to get addicted to you
Sitting here faded on the thoughts that I've fallen into
And on the daily testing everything, losing my faith that I got left
[Chorus]
Switchblades cutting with the words that I don't say
Justifying all of your mistakes
Using your love for me in vain, yeah
Didn’t want to do this to you, yeah
[Verse 2]
Tongues that rise against
Falling just as quick
Rising like the sun
Swallows the darkness
What is done is done
I don't fear what's next
Valley of the dead
Walking on the edge
[Chorus]
Switchblades cutting with the words that I don't say
Justifying all of your mistakes
Using your love for me in vain, yeah
Switchblades cutting with the words that I don't say
Justifying all of your mistakes
Using your love for me in vain, yeah

This one is about biting your tongue and killing your opponent in silence. Sometimes the loudest person is not the most ferocious. My dad used to tell me to never let them know my next move, and I believe actions speak louder than words and cut sharper, too.
