No One Will Know

good morning we have been here before dawn arrives slow, boring the knife we ignore from dusk we’ve dreamed of the slow slice the pain that covers the real long sleeves is the price you don’t know what we feel child abuse fear creeps deep no one will hurt us but the noose deep 6 big sleep the sun is no fun when your dreams scream and your last thought is the sound of a gun the message so serene you don’t know what we feel when your thoughts of driving into a big rig mangles flesh and steel as it burst into flames from your cig the thoughts come in a blink of an eye as we sit on the couch with the remote all the ways we want to die tomorrows dawn will be rewrote
