That part is from a song.
"Aimless am I
listless I'm the blunt of the knife"
The same situation is with "Here am I".

It's called subject-verb inversion and is used for emphasis and/or other special effects.
It's not uncommon in poetry, songs, literature ... etc.

Or "The new material"? My grammar book says to use A when a noun goes with an adjective before it, is it always right?
