Crimson road

Take this blade into my waiting hand
look at the scars upon my arm
as it were a road-map to another realm
how I love the feel and taste of the blood
it is an addiction that I fear I will not beat
you may thing I am stupid and dumb

Look at the blood run down my arm
beautiful crimson, save me from harm
release me from this inner pain
tell me now what you think I have to acquire
euphoria from each dark and deep cut
please don't judge me because of what I am

You see me as a grey and nasty worm
but I a human who is afraid to stop
live I wish to do, this cutting is a cry for help
please don't hate me for what I am
you don't know if I am young or old
but in pain I am all told

One more cut, one more chance
how I wish to stop this dance
trust me you don't wish it too
hide it beneath sleeves so long
my blood how it does sing
you turn your head and look away

"Now I lay me down to sleep"
is the prayer that goes up every night
as the blood drips to the floor
cant you see this is forevermore
good bye my sweet, hello my tears
sleep away the primal fears.
