Thanks for Asking

Where did my life go? What is it doing to me? It had a knife so If it’s in my back I can’t see It must be in a spot where I’m blind It tries to do this to me all of the time Maybe if I pay it no mind Then everything will turn out just fine I can feel the blade in my back It’s tearing up my lungs like glass Broken into shards from the crash But with what ever breath I can grasp I’ll tell myself I’m just fine I’m doing just fine. Thanks for asking I’m glad that you care Yes I swear I’m doing just… Great now I’m struggling to stand “Quick make sure he has a fuckin’ drink in his hand” Not in the drinking mood but this seems like a demand I think I’m tasting blood with every sip of the can How did you guys know? Why are you staring at me? All of your eyes show You don’t care as much it seems I can feel my bones start to crack They’re tearing through my skin like glass Broken from the window that you smashed To get a better look when I gasp And tell myself I’m just fine I’m doing just fine Thanks for asking I’m glad to share I guess that’s fair Now everyone crowds around me They laugh and smile. Its oddly warming I see now that they’re brandishing knives With a hungry fucking look in their eyes As the circle closes in How will this end? I can feel the blades in my back They’re tearing up my lungs like glass Broken into shards from the crash But with each little breath I can grasp I can feel my bones start to crack They’re tearing through my skin like glass Broken from the window they smashed To get a better look at the last time I tell myself I’m just fine I’m doing just fine Thanks for asking I’m glad to share Not that you care Where did my life go What is it doing to me How would you guys know If I just lie through my teeth I’m doing just… Fine.
