Suicide Song

Tue, 03/08/2016 - 10:54 -- schlehb

You take the knife and you take the blade

You dig it in and draw some blood

But it’s time to stop, your night is made.

Listen and let the tears flood.

Because you’re starting to fade.

 

So drop the knife and take a bow

The tough times are all over now.

Put your pain aside you’re not wrong.

But this is your suicide song.

 

You cry every night and that’s great

It’s better to pay with tears than to pay with blood

You’ve got the knife and it’s getting late.

But drop it, hun, let it hit and thud.

You can defy it, it’s not up to fate.

 

So drop the knife and take a bow

The tough times are all over now.

Put your pain aside you’re not wrong.

But this is your suicide song.

 

It’s your choice but I’m here to influence

It’s your smile and I’m here to see it

It’s your knife but it makes no difference

I don’t want to see your blood

I want to see you sing along.

 

So drop the knife and take a bow

The tough times are all over now.

Put your pain aside you’re not wrong.

But this is your suicide song.
