Blade Across My Skin
I sit in the dark and try to use
This method of rejuvenation
Eleven O' eight at night and
I need more Illumination
My skin itself is willing to pay the price
Light up the day the world is doused in shadow
I, myself am willing to roll the dice
the cost to illuminate the day
Take a risk and see
even if its not for me
It won't hut to pull the blade
across my skin
I've tried so hard to rip this boundary
even though my knife was dull
A stinging line is all I left
this is how I stall
This is how I procrastinate
but I want out NOW
someone in me is willing to wait
I want my blood to spill
Take a risk and see
even if it's not for me
I know it will hurt when i pull the
blade across my skin
Pale white in the night
Perfection in blue veins and
brown freckles
Do I really want to main myself?
The cold war rests inside my room
Hiding in your mothers womb
You could cut the tension with a knife
I think that's what I'll do
**** THE SYSTEM
This world of orderly conduct
They say its wrong to hurt myself
They say its wrong to damage my health
Take a risk and see
even if its not for me
what could be the harm when I
pull the blade across my skin
A little blood never hurt anyone
What doesn't kill me makes me strong
They say self inflicted pain is wrong
I simply say it makes you strong
For the third time tonight I will
pick up this blade
Even if doing so casts me into
the never ending shade
This blade across my skin
Please just do your work
**** the system
They say I'm wrong to hurt myself
I should let them hurt me instead?
Never would I dare
Never would I dare give into their demands
Knife across my skin
Blade across my skin
I'll give in to my OWN demands
My OWN addiction
This thirst for my own blood
A raven in the sky circles this despair
Just this blade across my wrist
is my BOUNDARY
