26 Stitches
26 stitches is my life.
Hardly got a family and no room for a wife.
Don't ask questions that you don't want to know.
I have already buried myself but where he only knows.
Afraid of the consequences but to numb to change.
I might open the book but I'm too afraid to turn the page.
Tomorrow is another day but to me it never changes.
Stuck in this Groundhog Day...
Just another 26 stitches.
I don't know why they stand beside me.
It must be love.
But since I lost my brother self-loathing has become my crutch.
26 stitches are how i live my life.
The only one who can intervene has since taken his own life.
26 stitches i will forever be.
I will see you in heaven, hell or somewhere in between.
