If You Say Rise Up Lights It Sounds Like
you dragged a knife across my heart
the way i used to drag a blade across my skin
there was so much blood
there is so much blood
and i cannot stop the bleeding
ive tied a thousand tourniquets
ive tried pounds of pressure
nothing can stop the bleeding
nothing will stop the bleeding
there is so much fucking blood
and i am drowning
in the red-
but i can’t blame you, can i?
not when i handed you
the fucking chainsaw.
