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
