Slave

i'm a slave to the blade
and a servant to the knife
my masters are slowly
slowly taking my life

a cut on the wrist
and a cut on the neck
who cares if i die
who cares, what the heck

i reach out for someone
when i feel myself falling
when noone is there
i hear the blade calling

humans let me down
and technology may too
but my blade is always there
and the blade sees me through

so now let me die
i'll be a burden no more
let my masters take over 
to even the score
