Knife

I thought

these wounds were healed oooh yeah

But then

you handed me a knife

And now ohh yeah

I’m drowning in my own blood

Tears escape my eyes (eyes)

Hope has walked away

Failure envelopes me ohhh

And intrusive thoughts win

Truth is yeahhh

I’m drowning

I can’t breathe ohhh

And that’s ok

The reality

of her world ohh yeah

laid before her

Written out,

in plain sight, ohhh yeah

by a child no less.

Tears escape my eyes (eyes)

Hope has walked away

Failure envelopes me ohhh

And intrusive thoughts win

Truth is yeahhh

I’m drowning

I can’t breathe ohhh

And that’s ok

This hurts so much ohh yeah

how much worse

would it have gotten

if I’d stayed? Yeahhh

This is why

I had to walk

Away

Tears escape my eyes (eyes)

Hope has walked away

Failure envelopes me ohhh

And intrusive thoughts win

Truth is yeahhh

I’m drowning

I can’t breathe ohhh

And that’s ok

It’s ok

I’m ok
