Knife

The blade slides across my skin

Like silk on satin

I welcome the pain in

May it drown what already lives

Inside this heart of mine

The despair that drowned

Whatever the world called me

So many years ago

Leaving behind

This thin shell of a man

Afraid of shadows

Alone in the crowd

The blade slides across my skin

Like silk on satin

I welcome the pain in

To distract my mind

From all it's woes

And let the lifeblood flow

Will death come for me tonight

As I sit here

Will death pass me by

Just not sad enough

yet

For the grim reaper's taste?

I worship the knife

Future savior

The only hope I can hold on to

Is the hope I can bring my pain

to it's own end

Care I not

If that end

Is my end as well

you think that you know me As you sit back and laugh All the stupid things I've said Echo in your ears Hide the truth The despair in me Will someday be in you I'm nothing by myself Just a mirror of the world around No one ever pays attention To the warning that I am.
