Trace your vital veins

Trace your vital veins
Too easy to get inside their brains
I feel it
I see it
I know how you think
I sharpened the edge
Now I let it sink

So when I lay in you can't see me for me
Suck my teeth
Lick my lips
Gotta keep my mouth shut
Or the blood drips
I'll smile so loud it cuts you
Like the knife I use to fuck your skin
You’ll never see the smiling knife within
Look at my
Lips curl
While I flash a smile
I know you can't see
