I Abort

I'm drowning from my own attempt to stay afloat
Making a pretty slipknot with my safety rope
I'm aching from my own twisted fidelity
Tightening over everything that's good in me

You think your skin is safe but you hurt yourself in other ways
You think I don't know what you don't want me to hear

Come back at a time when gnawing on my knife has passed
What will I do when I hurt you?
I don't know if I could

You're choking on my throwaways
I'm laughing at your razor blades breaking in my mouth

Looks like you've taken your life
What's next on the list?
Hairpins and rose cutlery

Come back at a time when gnawing on my knife has passed
What will I do when I hurt you?
I don't know if I could.
Being kicked from inside
Like a horse trying to hide
In my guts
There's not room for you both
I abort
Push you out
Stay afloat
Go without
Stay afloat
I abort
