Kiss of Metal

Bringing metal down to flesh
Sliding it across
Sighing in relief
That I'm no longer at a loss

I've found peace in the friendship
Of a dangerous blade
I know soon I'll have to lie
In a bed that I have made

No one has a clue
About the addiction I fight
How I always dread the time
When darkness fades to light

Because that's when I have to act
Like nothing at all is wrong
I pretend I'm in a masquerade
And I make others play along

But it's not my fault
That no one seems to care
That I'm in a pool of misery
Drowning in my own despair.

But it is all my fault
That no one knows what's true
I guess I'm good at hiding things
Since no one has a clue

So as I pick up the knife
And smile in pure bliss
As the metal of the blade
Gives me one final kiss
