Mouth Full of Razor Blades

Titled Mouth Full of Razor Blades by Ariel Gray


This is the way it feels
I keep falling to never get up
This wind keeps blowing my way
My hair clings to my face
And all I see is the parade

The circus you've entered me in
The whip cracks and stings my skin
The light is blinding my eyes
So I look down

To see the hole I've fallen down
It started as a crack
But it spread with my heart
Wide open

And now it pours out
I am devoured by my pain
This is all i have left
You took all I was

Even in my lowest low
I held more than is absent now
I couldn't stand to be alone
But I already am

Its hard to say anything anymore
My words just hang in the air
Or slice my tongue like a mouth full or razor blades
For me to spit out like seeds

They hit the floor
They lay there motionless
Looking up at me
Watching the rest drip off my lips

I slap them on the back of my hand
For you to shove them in my face

Then I stick my hand out the window
Let the air roll them off
The remaining show purple on my cheek

I've held on for too long
I said hold on
But I would rather have gone
That's the way I feel
Like I've been doing it wrong my whole life

And you should know
I can still walk away
