Like Knives

Never thought I
Would see the day
When my own mind
Would slip away
My head feels weak
Your love does too
Avert your eyes
Or ill make them blue

Open my eyes as I lay in bed
The nurse tells me its time to take my meds
Theyre bitter and theyre cruel, they make me feel so blue
But at least they numb my brain
And they make you go away

My mouth runs dry
I try to speak
You block my voice
My lips they bleed
The bloods not mine
I drink it in
Your mouth spits words
Like knives on skin

(Never thought you
Would wear all black
Would come to me
Would stab my back
Reach out your hand
And grab the rope
With just one pull
My neck you broke)

Open my eyes as I lay in bed
The nurse tells me it’s time to take my meds
They’re bitter and they’re cruel, they make me feel so blue
But at least they numb my brain
And they make you go away
