Steel on Skin


Steel on skin picking, scratching
The only way we cope
The painful hate for ourselves
The lies we live
The lessons unlearned

Believe me, I love you
I hate myself more
The one thing left
The lessons unlearned
The lives we end

They won't hear me!
They won't see me!
Drink my own blood to keep the act going
Pills and injections?
Just death and my attractions
Knives and stings?
The pain that gives me wings

You won't understand
The pain
The anger
The consuming rage,
Creeping through the darkness
Falling through the moon light

My life and my end
The lines seem to blend
The only thing left,
The lessons unlearned
The lives we end

They won't hear me!
They won't see me!
Drink my own blood to keep the act going
Pills and injections?
Just death and my attractions
Knives and stings?
The pain that gives me wings

Kill the lights
Smash the cage
Bombs away
Let's crash this plane
Before the night takes us with it to our grave

Just one more scream
One more bullet
One more blood drip on the pavement!

My heart runs dry
My last shot fired
The only thing left
The lessons unlearned
The lives we end

They won't hear me!
They won't see me!
Drink my own blood to keep the act going
Pills and injections?
Just death and my attractions
Knives and stings?
The pain that gives me wings

  1. I pulled out my rusty razor blade one more time
    To cut into my veins and dry my weeping eyes!
    But no matter how many times I keep on pulling the blade back
    The only wings I'll ever grow are solemnly painted black.

    These razor blades were meant to save me!
    And these pills should all sustain me!
    But instead they made me crazy
    And crave all these cravings!
    Dear God!
    Do you see these markings in parallel lines across my white skin!
    Do they mean anything to you!
    Do they mean anything to you!

    I'm pretty sure I've drained ever ounce of blood from beneath my skin,
    But still I find myself unsatisfied with the way my soul feels within.

    1. I guess I never smiled
      Even as I pulled the trigger.
      That's all I ever wanted anyway.
