slice by slice
cut by cut
ive closed this door so leave it shut
day by day
life by life
why wont you just let me
have one more slice
on my wrist
on my throat
i have nothing
left to care about
one slice here
one slice there
tell me are these
more than you can bare
do you want to see
would you like to see
just sit there and watch me bleed
your words hurt
your words can kill
so let us make you happy
let us do our will
slice by slice
cut by cut
life by life
day by day
shut by shut
