Blood-Stained Steel

Sitting here alone
staring at it,
it's covered in the blood
of the tears, and I'm having a fit.

You've gotta understand
Good things won't last forever,
and I guess
I'm gonna be living proof all together.

Everybody says they care
but what they say are lies,
I know inside of them
they wish I'd just died.

My eyes are burning
from these tears I cry,
everything I do I fail
even when I'm trying.

So I'll make this easy for you
and give up right now,
I'll take the destiny that
I wasn't bound for.

Don't really care about it
Life what does it mean,
from everything I've loved
to everything I've seen.

Taken this up to the wrist
one last final time,
after I'm gone
it will be my time to shine.
