The way i am

by Jacob Perry   Jan 27, 2005


Knife to skin
And knife to knife
This is the curse
That is my life

No matter the ups
There’s always a down
Beneath all the smiles
There’s always a frown

No matter the love
There’s a yet stronger hate
You can try to stop me
But you might be too late

My fate is to die
By my own hand
Left alone to cry
And die in the sand
