Cherished

I am the dagger
 I will drive into my heart
 To drain myself of my impurity
 Abandoned at conception
 Feeding off affection left behind
 I'll never know acceptance
 If people only come to me to die
 All I've cherished will run from my embrace
 Nothing will stay, nothing will stay
 Dwell in my debris
 Never knowing how it feels to be at peace
 Nothing will stay
 A confidence I could never conceive
 When the weight of insecurity becomes too much to bear
 Perception will deceive me
 Losing sight as I stare into a razor
 To be rewarded collections of my flaws
 I am the dagger
 I will drive into my heart
 I am the dagger
 I will drive into my heart
 To drain myself of my impurity
 I am the blade forced into my face
 Rearranging features for the pleasure of perfection
 Losing sight as I stare into a razor
 To be rewarded collections of my flaws
 All I've cherished will run from my embrace
 Nothing will stay, nothing will stay
 Dwell in my debris
 Never knowing how it feels to be at peace
 Nothing will stay, nothing will stay
 All I've cherished will run from my embrace
 Nothing will stay, nothing will stay
