Staples

I tucked my sadness between my fingers 
and reached for it with a razor to my wrist whenever 
I wished for its comfortable claws to carry me back to
crazy 

these hospital walls harbor the pain of many more
broken than me 
and I can still hear them screaming 
(crazy)

I feel the lurid darkness slumping over my shoulders
he whispers 
that he loves me not 
and I see that not even whiskey can make my sadness stay 
away 

the moths 
they beckon me to burn with them but 
I've loved my blood to much to watch it 
sizzle 
steaming like the windows of the car where 
I left my soul with you 
I'm just calling to ask for it back
(crazy)
