Knives and Pens Artwork
Knives and Pens is Black Veil Brides's first single, featured in their EP Never Give In, and their album We Stitch These Wounds. It was written by Andy Biersack, who wanted to show the two choices someone being bullied has: knives (destruction, as in self-harm) and pens (creation, for example writing music). The music video, where David Sasik plays a young and bullied Andy, was released on June 17, 2009. The album also features an acoustic version, and its lyric video was released on March 20, 2013.

Lyrics[]
Alone at last, we can sin and fight
And I've lost all faith in this blurring light
Stay right here, we can change our plight
Storming through this despite what's right
One final fight for this tonight
With knives and pens we made our plight
Lay your heart down, the end's in sight
Conscience begs for you to do what's right
Everyday it's still the same dull knife
Stab right through and justify your pride
One final fight for this tonight
With knives and pens we made our plight
Well, I can't go on without your love
You lost, you never held on
We tried our best, turn out the light, turn out the light
One final fight for this tonight
With knives and pens we made our plight
Well, I can't go on without your love
You lost, you never held on
We tried our best, turn out the light, turn out the light
