The Anatomy of a Knife

Pull me in close and do your worst
Next time you're sincere will be the first
A sharpened edge that's been forged with time
Sincerity turning on a dime

A poisoned pen, a burning bridge
Trust collapsing from within
A nagging doubt that's been confirmed
Artifice our common ground to play pretend

First cut is the deepest but it's far from the last
A thousand tiny slices how much more can you stand
You'll hardly even notice since they're mostly in the back
And the pain is so familiar it only hurts when you laugh

Blood
Blood in blood out
Raise shadows of doubt
Blood in blood out
Prick skin and bleed out
Blood in blood out
Break bread how devout?
Blood in blood out
Within and without

Assumed a certain certainty as the god's given truth
Blinded by the obviousness and a burden of the proof
Bloods thicker than water that you'll drown in the abuse
And betrayal is betrayal and you are not immune

Blood
Blood in blood out
Raise shadows of doubt
Blood in blood out
Prick skin and bleed out
Blood in blood out
Break bread how devout?
Blood in blood out
Within and without
