Faceoff

today we met once again

like a long lost friend your gaze piercing my soul 

I know what you want 

but I doubt I have the strength 

why now I ask as you say nothing 

all you want is my blood 

I have been down this road before 

two paths lie ahead of me 

do I take the one he wants 

been down this path a time or two 

or do I try and fight a loosing battle

out of this gloom I rise but to what

nothing but my impending doom 

finally he speaks only one line 

go ahead slit your wrist 

and let your demons bleed 

as he pushes the razor closer 

looking at the razor and looking at him

is today the day I give in

is the time now or is the fight worth it 

grasping the razor my hand shaking 

just one line he growls and ill leave 

lies I have heard many times 

one line now two now three 

one more can not hurt he encourages 

one last time that makes four 

tears rolling down my face 

what I have done I screamed 

today I lost the battle maybe the war 

tomorrow may be the same who knows 

as for today I lost the facoff
