Heredity is a curse that I cannot find a cure for
a never ending stream of the same mistakes repeated...

I long to wish the truth away and save my mind and find my way
and keep myself protected from the leeches and the creatures, some
have tried to find my weaknesses but find that they have many choices
Not just me... it's not just me... 

The Little Angels know no fears
No painful cries, no held- in tears
She looks to me with eyes so frail
And I know too well what it will mean...
To fail... 

So I turn to a love I've long since broken
My Rustic Blade its cool sharp edge the silent promises it keeps
No solutions, no forgiveness, no empty words of comfort spoken
It calls to me, I ache to be, I need to see beyond the deep... 

Giving in is sweet agony, I know the price but gladly pay
Enveloped by the grip of numbness, feelings stop the painful way
They make me shake and scream in anguish but the fix will never stay
Slowly slowing thicking drying stop, repeat, another day 

My Rustic Blade is warm surrender when the world is ever frozen
cannot bear the stain of failure dripping down my thin, pale frame
No joy, no sadness, pain or guilt it seems my soul has atrophied
If there was another way to stop the hurt and take away my shame? 

To learn, to live, to love, to feel it seems so simple, seems so real
But sabotaged me from the start my anger, hurt, my shiny steel
It's never been my way to open up my heart to rough harsh strips
Opened up my veins instead to drain away the questions on my lips 

It's never felt like anyone could know the secrets it has kept
Locked inside my mind because they bring the madness into hand
And make me cry butevery time I've held it back the sleepless nights
The nightmares haunt and I'm still falling but I never seem to land
I need to find a way to make it end... 

And once again with tears of failure streaming down my flushed red cheeks
My Rustic Blade its sharp and shiny promise of eternal sleep
It doesn't try to lie and tell me how it tries to make things better
No hope, no fear equates no nightmares they will all just someday disappear...
