Can I trust you? The words I say are neither lies or truths
Every time I hold a blade it's a gamble
Because my hands may betray me
And stick it into my chest
My state of mind is never constant
Dreams and reality have become one
I am one body and one mind
But one of them is starting to fall behind
I shout the words I want to whisper
And choke the ones I want to hug
I pick at my scabs and rip open my wounds
Yet tears never fall when I want them to
My brain has ceased speaking to my body
So I lay idly and wait for the vultures to come
To pick at the skin that no longer moves
I can not trust myself to think
So please lay out your hands
Let me feel the worn skin and the calluses you hide
Let me know for certain that you are in front of me
And tell me I can trust you
That you are real and true
Because every time I turn my head
You disappear, as if you are dead
And the same cycle of thoughts begin again
