Put Down The Knife

A shred of truth

Hidden somewhere behind the lies

A host with trembling hands

The girl in black with bloodshot eyes

Feet that can't move forward

And time that can't turn back

She puts her hands to her eyes 

So she cant see the mirror crack

A heart that has no bearing

On a mind she can't restore

The little girl inside her

Is begging her for more

"Why can't you be better?"

"Why can't you be more?"

Serrated edges by the window

Blood knocking at the door

She assumed it wasn't close to morning

Because the stars still called her name

Rope hanging by a thread

She doesn't want to lose this game

But The Grave still haunts her dreams

Her nightmares speak of life

The will to live and try

And finally put down the knife
