My hands are covered black with the reek of abuse
My chest has scars, a thousand million lines of refuse
I grab the blade, time to localize the pain
I grab the blade, time to further my stain
Here comes the Hate, the drowning of such a heavy toll
There goes the blood down my chest, my arms, my soul
The first cut is a line of fire chasing the hope of release
the last cut is dull ice, encased in a tomb of sweet peace
Thoughts collide in my brain, did I cut too deep?
Alarms go off in my head, dammit man get out off the floor
But now I feel that warm encroaching feeling of sleep
Alas, swimming in my personal pool, I am never more.
but. . .
From bleak and oppression I wake
