Peer Pressure
It would be easier to endure
If the blood hadn't caked so soon
Or the clock weren't waiting as loud
I didn't mean to slash my wrists
But then
I didn't mean to slash them and
Have the red freeze before they emptied
I've a seance in Fresno tomorrow
That's so long though
They may thaw by then
The loneness one feels as the razor kisses the wrist
The alone and fear you feel when
The cops say freeze and you suddenly know
Can't compare to the lone
As you push through flesh
And the dead appears
You don't wonder what's next
Is there a God or no
No
Your fear comes from behind
The knowing no one will miss you
No one will remember not to send you a card
