I can't stop thinking of your arms How they wrapped around me that night Braille of a story spelled out across them I run my fingers across the raised surface of scarred skin There's so many It's nostalgic I felt your breathing deepen Sleep This world has been cruel to you Sleep With arms safe in my palms It's sort of tragically beautiful Two souls threatening to break at any moment Lean on one another We know what it's like to be broken Sleep I'll be your pillow Sleep I'll be your razor Cut into me And take what you need

Sleeping Suicide Risk
I can't stop thinking of your arms How they wrapped around me that night Braille of a story spelled out across them I run my fingers across the raised surface of scarred skin There's so many It's nostalgic I felt your breathing deepen Sleep This world has been cruel to you Sleep With arms safe in my palms It's sort of tragically beautiful Two souls threatening to break at any moment Lean on one another We know what it's like to be broken Sleep I'll be your pillow Sleep I'll be your razor Cut into me And take what you need
