Sharpening the Blade Lyrics

I try to smile

But I'm just lost in the woods

Remembering the screams and cries and late nights

And the rushed tune lullabies

She sang of butterflies

And horses in my head

But when she left to go to the other side

I cried until the sunrise

I felt the blade begin to sharpen

I felt the room begin to darken

I felt my world starting to erase itself

As I wanted to erase myself

Yet here I am

I'm sharpening my blade once again

They bounced around

Going from room to room

Forgetting bout their youngest for a little while

As they began to reconcile

What did I do to earn this

What did he do to deserve this

What could they possibly have done

To protect their daughter and son

I felt the blade begin to sharpen

I felt the room begin to darken

I felt my world starting to erase itself

As I wanted to erase myself

Yet here I am

I'm sharpening my blade once again

And I

I always try

To forget what is

What was or could have been

But they

Come back with fire in their eyes

Trying to take my life

I felt the blade begin to sharpen

I felt the room begin to darken

I felt my world starting to erase itself

As I wanted to erase myself

Yet here I am

I'm sharpening my blade once again

Oh the blade began to sharpen

And that room began to darken

I felt my world starting to erase itself

As I wanted to erase myself

Yet here I am

I'm sharpening my blade once again
