a knife is a choice, as well as a life

There once was a girl

There once was a girl Given a knife

There once was a girl Given a knife Told, kill the person

There once was a girl Given a knife Told, kill the person To live a good life

The girl's hands shook

The girl's hands shook As well as her heart

The girl's hands shook As well as her heart But lure of riches

The girl's hands shook As well as her heart But lure of riches Too strong to depart

She tracked down the person

She tracked down the person Shining knife in hand

She tracked down the person Shining knife in hand Her choice, as to

She tracked down the person Shining knife in hand Her choice, as to Where the tip lands

But at the moment she can't

But at the moment she can't Bring herself to kill

But at the moment she can't Bring herself to kill Looking around once more

But at the moment she can't Bring herself to kill Looking around once more She amended her will

Searched for another boy

Searched for another boy More desperate than she

Searched for another boy More desperate than she Gave him the knife

Searched for another boy More desperate than she Gave him the knife And what he could be

And the girl walked away

And the girl walked away Burdens all gone

And the girl walked away Burdens all gone Only to realize who

And the girl walked away Burdens all gone Only to realize who She set them upon

She ran back, her tears

She ran back, her tears Falling to the ground

She ran back, her tears Falling to the ground Till she reached the person

She ran back, her tears Falling to the ground Till she reached the person And dead he was found

The knife turned inwards

The knife turned inwards To a starving life

The knife turned inwards To a starving life Heart of suffering ended

The knife turned inwards To a starving life Heart of suffering ended With one stab of the knife
