Running With Scissors
Running with Scissors
By Kevin Robey
October 8, 2013
I ask this of you, just one more time
Save me from these thoughts of mine
I miss the burn, I miss the touch
Another time when I’ll say too much
You were the reprieve from the grey
Down rabbit holes into the fray
Reminders you left on my pale skin
One day soon these demons will win
Resolve I built upon those sandy shores
Washed away in fake smiles that I wore
So it’s back home to you my shiny friend
A twisted affair that no one comprehends
You cut through every lie that I comprise
Shut out the sunshine I love and despise
A simple life when I breathe out my lungs
Escape from every note forever left unsung
Crazy how time passed without a sound
Returning every time you come around
Finding myself on the edge of release
Free of these thoughts; this pure disease
The moment I regret comes just after sunset
I bleed out my heart until my mind can forget
Wash away the fear as the view becomes clear
Pour them down the drain until they all disappear
One day when the sun doesnt rise again
I’ll smile knowing I don’t have to pretend
Now, as my wounds seep to the cold floor
I realize I’ll never be the man that I was before
One more time I say with bright eyes
That soul mates never really die
I turn on that one perfect song and close the door
Take a deep breath and put you back on the floor
