Paper Cut

My paper cut is infected 
Cause it was neglected 
Bandaids won’t solve the issue 
Some alcohol on a tissue 
Slice up all my fingers 
Cut my arms 
Tear my veins 
Rip my heart 
Why are you vain 
You got some blood on your hands 
Just wash them 
Pretend to understand
You think your such a man
By leaving me buried in the sand 
My paper cut is infected 
I might need some septic 
Slap my cheek 
Ignore my defeat 
You got my blood on your hands 
I don’t know who I am
Bleeding out on the road 
Pass the stop sign 
Cause I know your ready to go
