Lyrics
Switchblade Life by Micheal Lee Collins
© 2009 All Rights Reserved
Maybe just a little bit more in my hand,
Maybe just a little bit more than I can stand.
Maybe just a little bit is all that I need,
Maybe just a little bit would cure this disease.
Sometimes you got to let it go
forget the pages that you wrote
Damn it feels funny that I don't feel high
I fight the Devil with a switchblade knife
yea, but he's winning so far
how did I fall so far so fast
I hit the bottom with a big loud crash
and then, I got a switchblade life to mend
could have been the liquor that was still on my breath
could have been the rest of it that scared me half to death
could have been the prayers that were finally answered
could have been the way it came as calm as cancer
