A Sharper Image
deeper deeper goes the blade
where it stops its destiny cant be made.
deeper deeper if i let it, it will
right now it's my one and only true thrill.
i can't stop it, but i know i must
i am losing all people who i do trust.
as i go further further into the dark
how can i get out with it making its mark?
i hide it inside so no one will see
red is not my color, no not for me.
after awhile it no longer causes me pain
but after awhile it is i who is slain.
deeper deeper the blade will go
the dark red silver it now does glow.
i must break free from this awful bind
but sadness is my weakness that i must leave behind.
give me strength to let go of the pain
if i fail i shall never be the same again.
don't let me drown in my bloody reflection
but save me and let me know not of rejection.
deeper deeper i went too far
i was weak and left a permanent scar.
lay me down gently gently please do
for i know my pain is now finally through.
you failed me but i failed you as well
i couldn't fight the urge to rebel.
the metal now lays still on the floor
and there it can stay and hurt me no more
