Yes
Yes
Yes

Pause

No
No
No

But the way the blade feels in my hand tells me otherwise

"It's okay, everyone has to escape somehow. It's okay" it gently whispers to me

Spinning the gleaming blade
Round and round my fingers,
It twirls

You can't write out the bad ****
You've have to cut it out

Delete it all
That's only what I'd be doing

Yes
Yes
Yes

Pause

No
No
No

I need to try for you
I need to try for me

But the way you call my name entices all my thoughts
All my adrenaline runs to you

The sharp edge is cutting it's way into my mind
Convincing me it'll all be released

Everything was released.

Released.

...relapse.

She whispered to me something that wounded beyond words
And the boom that ensued shook the ground and the birds
They flew to the sky, gave a cry, and shed a tear
And those words bit into this fragile heart of mine
'Till all the good feelings poured out me like wine
And a wall of dreams broke down to the armies of attacking fears

And my eyes went opaque and my tongue, it went dry
With fantasies failing me and clouding my skies
The heavens pouring down their wishes for better days
And they angels watched as the smile fell from my face
As the day went awry and my heart fell from grace
And her words, they did wound me and those words with echo always
