She knew those blades were dangerous
So she turned the other way.
She wanted to ease her pain
But how can she do so quietly?
She can always use a flame -
Just blame it on her cooking
She can always scratch -
Blame it on the cat
She can always smoke -
Die from inside out
She'll find a way to drown her sorrows
There they are, at the bottom of a bottle
One more step and you'll fall
Darling, you won't feel a thing
