Feel The Blade
David Daniels
You take the sharp knife and you cut your skin
Why can't you escape the confusion your mind is apparently in?
Are you looking for attention? Did your mothers love somehow fail?
Is that why you lay bleeding in your bed locked up in jail?
Can you find the answers that plague your tormented mind?
When you take the knife in your hand is it pleasure that you find?
The lost girl,the girl with the face of an angel above
Lost in the blade of the knife because you never felt love
Take the knife and let the blood splatter on the metal bars
Lay back your head as you bleed and fantasize about the freedom of the stars
Don't look at me like that because then I might fall in love with you
Then I'd feel responsible for the sad things that you do
I see you crying but I pretend not to feel your tears
Are you crying because you've been locked up for so many years?
Please don't reach out to me because I can't take your hand
Can't you realize that I am the Gate Keeper and that I am not your man
Should I take off my badge,so you could be someone I save?
Or should I turn my back on you and let you bleed in the bed that you've made?
Blood drips to the floor as you ask for forgivness of your crimes
There's no way I can possibly understand the pain that's inside your mind
I must walk away now because my heart bleeds for you
Just like your bleeding wounds that are there from the damage you do
If I could only take the pain away from your bleeding hands
But I am unable to do that because of the officer that I am
I can't get involved,I can't follow my heart
Because of the separate worlds we live in that are so far apart
The only thing I can do is pray to the Lord above
And hope that the feel of the blade is replaced by the feeling of love
