Every Cut

With my eyes I can see
Your blood as it beats from your heart
With my touch I can feel
Your world crash and fall apart

But it is with my eyes I know
How you express your pain
You smile many times
But it’s when their backs are turned you cut your vein

I know this because it’s your blood I see
It’s the very part of you I adore
But baby I hate how you do this to yourself
You’re not satisfied, so you do it more

Why are you so dramatic?
Are we both the same?
Attracted to the traumatic?
Are we playing the same game?

Baby when you cut yourself
You’re cutting me
I’m the essence of you
That you just don’t see

When you cut yourself
You’re cutting me
Because I am you
And everything that you wanted to be

I’m the voice in the back of your mind
That pushes you that little bit more
To the point where you break down
And can’t take it anymore

I beat on you
Like the ocean on a rock
I hurt you so deeply
Like the cheerleaders and the jocks

I tease you about the small things
And every little flaw
I rip you up so much
That you tear your skin raw
So it’s with every cut
You take my breath away
I never want you to leave
Baby, will you stay?
