Slack

burn myself a little every day. cauterize the wound 'til it's okay.

cut myself a little every week. called her as the blood runs down the sink.

burn myself a little, now and then. breathe the smoke and choke it out again.

cut myself a little on my hand. bleeding strokes on paper from my pen.

burn my bridge a little every night, but damned if it don't put up a fight.

cut the deck a little, play the hand. bet it all to lose it all again.

burn myself a little, just sometimes. accidents just happen and that's fine.

cut the ropes a little, lose the slack. let it loose, 'cause I won't need it back.

I got burned, but it'll heal again. after all she said we could be friends.

cut some slack a little, would you, please? here I am before you on my knees.

cut some slack a little, would you, now? otherwise, go on and let me down.
