Friction From Stitches (A Hostage Situation)

Friction From Stitches (A Hostage Situation)

A Poem by Travis Prino

I'm just a laceration

that brings you closer to him

remember all the times

you got away with playing with poison

he won't save you when you're lying on your death bed

he'll reach down to you but leave you lying there instead


and you'll never have to cry

when you're walking by his side

and when you feel you've lost your mind

just know he's watching over you tonight

and the pain will finally die

as you open up your eyes

you've been given the chance to make things right

so don't throw it all away this time


I'm just a hole

you tried to put into your head

remember all the times

you thought you were better off dead

you never wanted to be saved from all the suffering

you just wanted the quickest way for it to end


and you'll never have to cry

when you're walking by his side

and when you feel you've lost your mind

just know he's watching over you tonight

and the pain will finally die

as you open up your eyes

you've been given the chance to make things right

so don't throw it all away this time


I'm just a toxin

flowing through your veins now

remember all the times

you swallowed me to keep from being down

you were always searching for a new way to get out

but friction from the stitches is the only thing you found


and you'll never have to cry

when you're walking by his side

and when you feel you've lost your mind

just know he's watching over you tonight

and the pain will finally die

as you open up your eyes

you've been given the chance to make things right

so don't throw it all away this time


suicide is never the answer

he gave you life and you take it for granted

suicide is never an option

you tried to give up but he's holding you hostage

suicide is never the answer

he gave you life and you take it for granted

suicide is never an option

you tried to give up but he's holding you hostage


and you'll never have to cry

when you're walking by his side

and when you feel you've lost your mind

just know he's watching over you tonight

and the pain will finally die

when you open up your eyes

you've been given the chance to make things right

so don't throw it all away this time


now you are made of his design

so take a chance and live your life.
