Push It Down
drag the razor across the skin
feel it's silken bite dig in
die a bit, to live some more
let it sink it's leaden weight down to your core
this obsession works it's way into your mind
twisting, turning, hurting, and soon to bind
your will, your strength, your tranquil sea
this bloody romance cannot save me
it won't save anything, but only cause
you to realize some of your flaws
it won't bring you anything but pain
and in return you'll make it rain
the blood red tears rent from your skin
you'll tear the flesh and make it grin
a smile carved from flesh, bigger than your own
a smile carved in flesh, all the way to the bone
you'll wish you never picked up the blade
but now you have no choice but to wade
through the thickening scars overlapping your flesh
the ugly reminders that are starting to mesh
they're melding together and falling apart
they're becoming one, no longer art
where once they symbolized single moments in time
now they're too numerous, they intertwine
the moments become one of a whole
they're moments slowly decaying your soul
the bloodshed and sorrow are no longer alright
and now there's no one to save you from this plight
you tumble and stumble, but they pay no heed
"you've done this, you've said that", they feel no need
to give you attention, they think that's what you want
they ignore it, they deplore it, and watch you turn gaunt
the sadness inside you has worn you away
pushing it down has made it decay
it's been too long since you've let it air out
it's been to long since you've managed to shout
about the troubles you feel, the anger inside
you push it all down and in there it hides
until one day the anger explodes
you've pushed it all down for far to long
you vent on loved ones, friends and enemy's alike
they all feel your wrath, none are safe from your strikes
the blood flows freely from all around
and now the pain it does abound
