Switchblade Tragedy

Instant friction Lost in a fiction A certain malnutrition Of the world we live in Can't stop this rejection Familiarization is a complication A mirrored reflection Down to the core of perfection These are my switchblade tragedies Deal on a dime Don't know what it means Just a lost cause with no novel-tine And a condescending outlook to this nicotine Casting the capers into oblivion Laughing out loud at the world you threw me in Can't stop the pounding Living up to my surroundings And as a matter of fact Don't plan to take it back These are my switchblade tragedies So don't count on my own sweet parodies A bitter-sweet taste that leaves you wanting more To settle the score Lost in my own transition My own demolition Fighting for my right to reposition To recondition These are what I call My switchblade tragedies It leaves you wanting more It leaves you wanting more
