Hiding Knives - Junius

Stepped outside and I walked to the edge

Toes pointing down looking over the past again

I’m frightened by my urge to descend

Opened up my chest many times before

To the knife of love to the best unborn

I swore out to the night

And felt myself begin to lean in

Spinning out around around

Descending on a forming crowd

Of sullen eyes hiding knives

Spinning out around around

They’re looking twice and slowing down

I really doubt I’ll make out alive

Layed out next to my still beating heart

I’ve fallen down inside a caustic crowd

They slip and fall when blood it pours out

They suck it up but it won’t decay

It beats for hours it bleeds for days

Their sullen lives, numbing nights

Holding on to murmurs for dear life

We can fall forever

Filling the night sky

Feelings that won’t die

A rush of warm blood

We can fall forever

Holding hands in silent flight

Coping with loss and love’s lies

We can fall forever

Holding on to nice tries

Rushing towards the fine lines

Crawl in my life
