Cherished

I am the dagger I will drive into my heart To drain myself of my impurity Abandoned at conception Feeding off affection left behind I'll never know acceptance If people only come to me to die All I've cherished will run from my embrace Nothing will stay, nothing will stay Dwell in my debris Never knowing how it feels to be at peace Nothing will stay A confidence I could never conceive When the weight of insecurity becomes too much to bear Perception will deceive me Losing sight as I stare into a razor To be rewarded collections of my flaws I am the dagger I will drive into my heart I am the dagger I will drive into my heart To drain myself of my impurity I am the blade forced into my face Rearranging features for the pleasure of perfection Losing sight as I stare into a razor To be rewarded collections of my flaws All I've cherished will run from my embrace Nothing will stay, nothing will stay Dwell in my debris Never knowing how it feels to be at peace Nothing will stay, nothing will stay All I've cherished will run from my embrace Nothing will stay, nothing will stay
