Dust on the dashboard, rain on the glass
Crossing old county lines, driving too fast
This town never missed me, and I never called
But here I am again, answering ghost when they call.

Daddy, are you still at the same bar?
With the same promises you never keep?
you were never there, and I learned to survive
built a heart out of silence and sharpened knives.

Knives Girl, Knives Girl,
I left something, I left myself
They say I’m lost, but I’ve always known
That ghosts feel heavier when you drive alone
Knives Girl Knives Girl – I’m coming home.

Mama, I see you in every rearview
Still talking to mirrors, still choking on truth
You called it love when you pulled me apart
Taught me to smile even with a splintered heart.

And he –
He touched me like I was something divine
But I couldn’t be held, so I drew the line
With trembling hands and a kitchen blade
I wanted to see if, deep in his heart, there was truly love.

Knives Girl, Knives Girl,
I left him crying, Left a home behind
They say I’m lost, but I’ve always known
That ghosts feel heavier when you drive alone
Knives Girl – I’m almost home.

So open the door or keep it closed

I don’t know if I’m here to heal or to fight
Knives Girl, Knives Girl – I am here.
