Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
if you must cut me
then cut me you must
Sand to sand
dirt to dirt
it doesn't matter anymore
this blade doesn't hurt
Flower to flower
bud to bud
you cut across my skin
and I blossom the blood
Words to words
breath to breath
this pain I carry with me
I'll carry with me 'til death
