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
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
