The knife lies there tormenting me
How I long to pick it up
Only I hold the key
I always keep things locked up
I'd love to remain true to myself
To force myself away
The scars I know ruin my health
They remind me of yet another day
I must carry on suffering
I cannot give up now
But the knife lies there unchanging
I pick it up but how?
My hopes and ambitions have been dashed
Now all I can do is pray
That maybe one day I'll find the strength
To put that knife away
All I am is I all have
Marked forever on my arm
Nothing to show nothing to share
I can't even manage to be calm
In all I do I try to be prepared
For what is throw
