Revolution Around the Sun

All your doubts christened By a blade pulled from a sheath Held by dirty fingers Clinched beneath your teeth Stripped your hallowed confidence Struck and splintered whole Dropped and splashed, broken pieces Crashed upon the floor. All the pain and loneliness Replacing all your fun All these wounds and bloody scars Won't be healed by one Revolution around the sun.
