Lapse

I know my frown looks like a smile

and the sobbing seems like laughter

you thought the tears were blood

my private pain a flood

she's your way she's your way

my bones they look like flesh

my veins they look like blood

and my mouth it feels so dirty

my hands are warm though you left me cold

she's your way she's your way

I know I look like scum

and you know I feel like mud

but to who? maybe you

she's your way, she's a lapse

she's a lapse

I know I'm lower than you

so how do I look, down your nose

your hatred grows as only the hated knows

how do I look to you now that there's a knife in between you toes

the blade grows as only the cut knows

she's your way she's your way

I'll never let you forget that she's only your way

though you throw me to the fire

you're gonna run into something

maybe me

falling off your feet

always looking at me down your nose

the rooster crows as only the morning knows,

and do you know?
