Drop the knife Put away the gun Don't take your life Soon there'll be sun I know all too well How hard you must try Not to scream and to yell How much you want to cry I know your secret I feel just the same I promise I'll keep it I won't set it aflame It burns like a ***** When you take a shower The pain makes you twitch The red blooms like a flower Don't try to hide it Don't feel ashamed They'll throw a fit People will be blamed Don't be upset It's not your fault Don't cry just yet Their whispers will halt I know it's addicting I've done it before Truly it's restricting Hiding it's a chore It feels like heaven When it goes down your arm Nine, ten, now eleven It all works like a charm I know it works well I've felt it too But it's a path down to hell Only stoppable by you "It will get better" I say this to myself Say it letter by letter Now to yourself Don't cry tonight Wait for the sun Put up fight The battle has yet to be won Drop the knife Put away the gun Don't take your life Soon there'll be sun

Drop the Knife
Drop the knife Put away the gun Don't take your life Soon there'll be sun I know all too well How hard you must try Not to scream and to yell How much you want to cry I know your secret I feel just the same I promise I'll keep it I won't set it aflame It burns like a ***** When you take a shower The pain makes you twitch The red blooms like a flower Don't try to hide it Don't feel ashamed They'll throw a fit People will be blamed Don't be upset It's not your fault Don't cry just yet Their whispers will halt I know it's addicting I've done it before Truly it's restricting Hiding it's a chore It feels like heaven When it goes down your arm Nine, ten, now eleven It all works like a charm I know it works well I've felt it too But it's a path down to hell Only stoppable by you "It will get better" I say this to myself Say it letter by letter Now to yourself Don't cry tonight Wait for the sun Put up fight The battle has yet to be won Drop the knife Put away the gun Don't take your life Soon there'll be sun
