The blade crawls
Across the skin
Pecking at the gates
It’s a sin
You can’t say a word
Can’t cry or there’ll hear
Just take the blade
And the rest is clear
Your arm grows weak
Stinging from the cut
But I can’t stop
Can’t stop
I grow tears in my eyes
Feel weak and distressed
So I pick up the blade
I have to complete my test
One slice, two slice
Down on it goes
If I can’t stop
It’ll go down to my toes
Can’t say a word
Can’t scream or there’ll hear
My arm feels like fire
Burning through the sear
Can’t say a word
Not a word
