Scalpel

Lights flashing – fading now
Getting darker – can’t see how
So many people come and go
What stone white masks never show

Show the pain – grinding the blade
Sharpen the scalpel and start carving again

Breathing hard – blood loss high
Stiff white dolls – with open eyes
Unnecessary surgery always gets
The best of me

Strapped to the table – cut open wide
For all to see – with piercing eyes
Pressure dropping – no place to hide
Can’t see the tears that I’ve cried

Show the pain – grinding the blade
Sharpen the scalpel and start carving again

Derive pleasure by causing pain
Sadistic doctors start again
Insert the needle – with no remorse
Metal and flesh – have intercourse

Show the pain – grinding the blade
Sharpen the scalpel and start carving again

Organs exposed to unclean air
Steel probes with little or no care
