Butterfingers

by Chris Harding   Feb 4, 2006


Seperate the pain into insignificant morsels of discomfort
Withered skin turned grey from the shame
The trojan dark horse remains in the shroud of night
The merciful stranger who saved the cripple from his drunken plight

As our hope slips through your hands
And these eyes bleed out dead emotions for the last time
I will not stand idly by as you suck our hearts dry

Blatant disregard as you walk by
The bedroom light illuminates the horrors inside
As the last grains of common decency
Slip through the salt shaker of life
Too afraid to save ourselves
On my knees I scream forgiveness
No record goes untarnished
In this world full of sinners
Just blame it all on human error
Butterfingers
