Metallic Sedative

To the metal I succumb
and the blood shows I'm alive
Can you see what I've become?
Without this can I survive?

At this point in life
My life has been lined in blood
Stained by this rusty knife
as I continue to drown in this emotional flood

I continue moving on
Carrying this heavy load
Though my soul is almost gone
I don't walk alone on this road

I'm accompanied by hope
With a slight touch of pain
and these pills wont help me cope
and for now here is where I shall remain
