Regularly Scheduled Stabbing

Counting cracks in papered ceiling
I decide how I am feeling for today
I am never too revealing now
My youth is all but bleeding down the drain

My skin is cold and creaking
Old mascara streams are leaking down my face
But you never hear me screaming
I can regulate my breathing and behave

Grab the knife and twist
You say if I were trying, I could handle it
But I know you only love me when I let you win
Go on, play the victim, take the weapon
Maybe I should learn my lesson
But can I call you backstabber
If I saw this coming?

Don't you dare come any closer
I'm a ghost that just won't settle in her grave
By the time the night is over
I'll return to my dead heart inside its cage

'Cause it's better to be stone than shattered
Better off alone than captured
I'm not coming home now
There is nothing there that matters

Grab the knife and twist
You say if I were trying, I could handle it
But I know you only love me when I let you win
Go on, play the victim, take the weapon
Maybe I should learn my lesson

And I can count on you to clean my wounds
Wash away the blood and hide the proof
Your disinfectant stings and pressure bruises
Rewrite the rules so my side loses again
And again, and again, and again

Grab the knife and twist
You say if I were trying, I could handle it
But I know you only love me when I let you win
Go on, play the victim, take the weapon
Maybe I should learn my lesson
But can I call you backstabber
If I saw this coming?
