Kitchen Floor

I’ve slit the paper wrists
watching the crimson flow down my arms
I’ve ended it all
and in turn
all the people cry


They cry because they don’t understand
cry cause they’ll get no answer
The one with all the knowledge
lays on the kitchen floor
in a pool of her own death.


But here I’ll give you answers
here I’ll tell you why
I’ve taken it all into my hands
and crushed it with all my might.


What do you do with a soul
that has been long and dead
inhabiting a shell
that would rather stand empty


If you had given me the answers
I would have given you mine
we wouldn’t stand as we do today
As I lay dead on the kitchen floor.
