The First Cut Is the Deepest

The First Cut Is The Deepest 


I have a razor blade in my hand 

There is no world outside this man 

An act of selfishness was my plan 

I cried for me one last time 

I guess I once loved this friend of mine. 


The razor cuts deep beneath my skin 

I do not feel it my brain is occupied with other things 

The blood trickled as my conscousness weakened 

All I saw was darkness and unreason. 


Now in a deathly sleep 

All around me quiet keep 

Love cuts deep.
