The Razors Edge

The edge of the razor surely holds

The end of life and dreams untold

The end of pain and misery

The end of life for all to see

 

The edge of the razor is sharp and keen

Leaving behind things best unseen

Leaving behind everything you hold dear

Leaving behind what you were here

 

The edge of the razor is cruel and cold

Promising you’ll never grow old

Promising only pain to hold

Promising love stories never told

 

The edge of the razor is slick and fast

Holding the razor life doesn’t last

Holding the razor all love will pass

Holding the razor will kill your ass

 

The edge of the razor will surely be

The death of a coward

The death of the fool

But never the death of me
