I Turn To The Blade

by Rican Chemistry   Jan 21, 2006


Mami don't look at me
Doctor stay away
I don't want you to see
The fresh cuts I made today

Little sister don't cry
I don't do this cause of you
Don't worry about me
I know what this blade can do

Dad just shut your mouth
You could never understand
That all that yelling and shouting
Hurts more than if you raised your hand

Grandpa don't you get any closer
I just cant believe the things you did to me
Using and abusing me
Hurting me more than I let you see

Mami go ahead get on his side
Not knowing how it really is
I wonder if i cut too far
Would I even be missed?

Sister you're the only one
That somehow sticks by me
You help me cope with my fears
And ain't blind to what you see

Dad you only see what you want
Never what is really there
Honestly Dad, sometimes
I think that you don't care

Grandpa how could I forgive you
I was barely nine and so young
You took the notes to my innocence
Now this song has already been sung

This are just some reasons
To why I do what I do
Your sharp, razor edge
Tempting me to use you

I blend my dripping blood
Along with the tears I cry
To keep the hurt at minimum
To cover up the lies

Drawing a masterpiece
In my own artistic ways
Sharpening my blade again
Bleeding my troubles away

I smile at th drops of blood
And deceive the honest truth
And every cut that I make with you
I think of my stolen youth

I don't know why I do it
But it eases my pain
The blade is like the lighting
Edging the blood to pour like rain

Sometimes I wonder
Why I even keep you by my side
But your the only thing I can trust
My trusty blade I have to hide

Don't try to understand
The relationship we have created
The blade is my way to breathe
No matter how much I hate it

OK Ma I don't know if its that good, but you know...I tried....Hope you like...
