I took a shower tonight. But I didn't wash my hair Or my body or my face Or even my toes. I took a shower tonight. And although the water was as hot as it can go I stepped in and my whole body froze From my hair To my body to my face To my toes. I took a shower tonight. And I just sat on the shower floor I put my face in my knees Let the billion clear little razors Roll down my back And down the drain. I didn't cry. I didn't break down. I took a shower tonight. And I just sat on the ground And I sat in the shower. Till the hot water turned cold. Three hours of sitting of mini razor blades rolling gently down my back And in just a moment. I'll get in my bed. And I'll lay. For about six to seven hours. Until seven am And then I'll put on my eyeliner And be on my way.

I Took a Shower Tonight
I took a shower tonight. But I didn't wash my hair Or my body or my face Or even my toes. I took a shower tonight. And although the water was as hot as it can go I stepped in and my whole body froze From my hair To my body to my face To my toes. I took a shower tonight. And I just sat on the shower floor I put my face in my knees Let the billion clear little razors Roll down my back And down the drain. I didn't cry. I didn't break down. I took a shower tonight. And I just sat on the ground And I sat in the shower. Till the hot water turned cold. Three hours of sitting of mini razor blades rolling gently down my back And in just a moment. I'll get in my bed. And I'll lay. For about six to seven hours. Until seven am And then I'll put on my eyeliner And be on my way.
