longer knives needed
the pain deeper
the images real
written deeper
whatever you believe
longer knives needed
cutting deeper
sharper needles
writing, drawing
deep down within us
tattoos, scarring
written on hearts
ink on our souls
meting into our spirits
tearing us, ripping
our life in pieces
shattered, scattered
written deeper
written in blood
ripped open
deeper, deeper
exposing new flesh
virgin meat, living tissue
for the needles, the knives
cutting into our bodies
deeper than that, even
words written, painful
words written on hearts
the images, lasting,
permanent stuff
