The Knife Is My Door

One cut, one slice.
I roll the dice.
"What is it today? Live or die?"
My life is just one screwed up lie.
I don't matter.
My life is a waste.
And I'll do anything to get out of this 
place.
Life is a prison.
We're our own warden.
Escape or stay? 
Who's to say?
I really don't know anymore...
I don't care anymore...
I need to escape.
The knife is my door.
