Salvation

close your eyes and go back to sleep
mommy’s only gone for a while
this life just isn’t enough
to satisfy the cravings for life and blood
for something more tangible
for hope, for pain, for love
so close your mind
there’s nothing to fear in a knife
----------------------------------------------
so drive away and don’t look back
there’s no sense in waiting
cause there’s a strange freedom
in watching it all burn
----------------------------------------------
take the razorblade
and let it kiss your skin
there’s no uncertainty
with a gun to your head
and a life in your hand
so pull the trigger
and find beauty in salvation
----------------------------------------------
close your eyes and take a deep breath
baby’s only here for a while
there’s no use in crying
just let me kiss you one last time
and feel your fingers
exploring my body
so have no fear
there’s nothing more lethal than a lie
----------------------------------------------
so drive away and don’t look back
there’s no sense in waiting
cause there’s a strange freedom
in watching it all burn
----------------------------------------------
take the razorblade
and let it kiss your skin
there’s no uncertainty
with a gun to your head
and a life in your hand
so pull the trigger
and find beauty in salvation
----------------------------------------------
breathe it in and hold it dear
flames and smoke can love you better
then I can ever hope
so let the rain pour down
and wash the blood away
until there’s no trace
of the life you used to live
----------------------------------------------
take the razorblade
and let it kiss your skin
there’s no uncertainty
with a gun to your head
and a life in your hand
so pull the trigger
and find beauty in salvation
