The meaning of Knives and Pens by Black Veil Brides.

 Andy was tormented a lot as a kid, he was called "emo" "fag" etc. and well he had the choice between cutting himself (knives) or writing poetry/songs(pens). Andy chose pens hence Black Veil Brides... I know how it feels to be treated differently because you are different from everyone else...I tired knives, its not worth it....Pens are definitely the way to go.
