The Cut

Music and Lyric by David W. Jacobsen

You would not want the message
I can tell more than you ask
You can deny writing
Take a sip from your poison flask

You would not hear the message
If I say more than you crave
Seeking only dissolution
Nothing changed since I forgave

There is time for the cut     
Who will inflict the cut?     
See the wound, see the cut     
Only the cut     

But you say you try     
And you say you try     
But you say you try     
And you say you try     

You would not want an answer
If you asked what I had spoke
You can keep sinking further
No life line comes when you provoke

You would not hear an answer
No words could ever penetrate
Could there ever be forgiveness
With all the things you desecrate

There is time for the cut     
Who will inflict the cut?     
See the wound, see the cut     
Only the cut     

But you say you try     
And you say you try     
But you say you try     
And you say you try     

You say that you try
You say that you try
