Closed Book Open Wrist

What started as interest
Soon turned into obsession
An empty void filled with the teachings of old
I share with you and depend on you
The "only way"
I share with you and rely on you
The only way
I force on you and then I turn on you
This is the only way

Truth and lies to me now join as one
An almighty vision sent to me from above
You must understand that to be truly free
Question not the printed word
In front of thee
But now it's hard to remember
How I felt before
Obsessed I scrutinize my every thought
I cut myself when instinct calls
I banish my nature as my defences fall
What started as comfort
Now turns into deception
That empty void fed with delusions of old
They'll turn on you then control you
This "only way"
I exploit you manipulate you
The only way
I confuse you l'm mocking you
It has to be this way

Closed book opened wrist
Closed book opened wrist
Closed book opened wrist
Closed book opened... Wrist

What started as interest
Turned to self mutilation
Blood splattered page
Revealing teachings of old
This end I did not foresee
But abstinence was the key
Now with this opened wrist I seek
I searched for you now confront you
This "only way"
I'm bound to you profound are you
Death was the only way
Closed book opened wrist
Closed book opened wrist
I share with you
Rely on you, I force on you
Then turn on you I search for you
I'm bound to you, Profound are you
And death was the
"Only... Way"
