razors swallowed lest we speak

Cut you shallow

just to see

if you really

liked to bleed

if you’d cover it

let it flow

if you’d finally think to go

Cut you deeper

to the quick

so i could know

what made you tick

Cut you open

laid you bare

you took my words and

made it fair

cut me shallow

cut me deep

found out how

i liked to bleed
