If A Friend

Trust a friend as if a faultline

Judge him as you would have blew him

Love him as you cut a fist off

Put a liar, put him through



If a friend



Hold him close enough to cut him

Brand him fate to ease the hurt

Praise him for his thoughtless actions

As you drag his bleeding heart through dirt



If a friend



Make him think he owes you conscience

Twist his side to see a tear

Slowly turn your back and leave him

Leave him lonely, show him fear



If a friend



End his wounds with salted gravel

Laughing at his screaming face

Pet his back with loaded daggers

Wipe his tears with shining razor blades



If a friend



Reassure him that he didn't fail you

Talk of death and bleed till then

Share with him as if a junkie

If a loser, if a friend



If a friend
