Humming blue
How can I confide in you when you rely on me?
How desperately I wish I could get help I know I need
You wonder why I hurt myself
Irrationally I shake
I said I claim control but truth I tremble and I quake
When I sit upon my bed
Fetal position upside down
I wish my biggest fear wasn’t metal but a clown
When I’m holding razor blades and sinful sharpness at my wrist
I think of you
And hum my blue
And think of you again
When I’m lucky, yes it passes
But assured it will return
Assured I’ll be alone again with taunting sticky burns
I know you could’ve helped me
But I can tell you’d never tell me
So how can I confide in anyone else but you
If you’re the only one I think of when I’m humming blue.
