Butter knife surgery
Like hacking out your liver with a butter knife
Press deep, cut and slice
Lie back on the table; hold tight to your tool
Look up at the ceiling, aren’t we the fool
Bloods running slowly over the table now down to the floor
Feel the dull edge of cutlery held tight between finger and thumb
Eyes open and smiling... numb, numb, numb
When breathing feels like a hardship and existings just strife
But that’s how it goes right?
Some days that’s just your life
Hacking out your liver with a butter knife
Press deep, cut and slice
Lie back on the table; hold tight to your tool
Look up at the ceiling, aren’t we the fool
Bloods running slowly over the table now down to the floor
Feel the dull edge of cutlery held tight between finger and thumb
Eyes open and smiling... numb, numb, numb
When breathing feels like a hardship and existings just strife
But that’s how it goes right?
Some days that’s just your life
Hacking out your liver with a butter knife
