Your Sword Versus My Dagger - Silverstein

I’m cutting through

You’re bleeding out

And I would tell the truth, but I can’t help myself

Red rushes out, dissect this nerve

And I’ll stop myself before I reach my cell

I wasn’t asking for the world

And you know that I’m not one to follow through

All these city streets, the people look the same

And I can see your face and I can hear your name

I wasn’t asking for the world

You’re stabbing in

Permanent scars

And you’ll justify it all inside yourself

You’ve finished me

My pulse is gone

And you’re satisfied to put this all to hell

I wasn’t asking for the world

And you know that I’m not one to follow through

All these city streets, the people look the same

And I can see your face and I can hear your name

I wasn’t asking for the world

Drink the poison when you think it’s over

Stabbing yourself, when you think it’s too late

Tragic endings are your thing, you love them;

You love letting go.

The ending’s the same

Drink the poison when you think it’s over

Inevitable, Verona lives inside of you

I wasn’t asking for the world

And you know that I’m not one to follow through

All these city streets, the people look the same

And I can see your face and I can hear your name

I wasn’t asking for the world
