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. | 2003-04-07 |
