Lyrics
The Blade
(G)
Doesn't anybody Love me?
Doesn't anybody care?
I feel so invisible
Is there anybody there
Mom is on the back porch
Smoking cigarettes
and watching her portable TV
Dad is at work
It’s like he's never home
Or he's bitching about the dishes
Grandpas got a bad back
From Holding it All In
Grandpa hates his father
even though he’s dead in his sin
Grandma has a problem
She’s scared of everything
Nothing is ever clean
They hate everything
Fears a way of life
And God’s not good enough
Doesn’t anybody love me
Doesn’t anybody care
I feel so invisible
Isn’t anybody there?
So many questions plague my mind
But there’s no one I can talk to
Ruby is playing, Acting insane,
Playing her new game
(Solo Ascending)
Doesn’t anybody love me?
I’m holed up in my room
No one understands me
I hope it’s over soon
Momma’s got a new friend,
same as the old
They’re here and then their gone
Like a songbird singing
They sing their song
And Then they’re gone.
Doesn't any body see me?
Can't they feel my pain?
I'll Sit here alone & wait
And see how long it takes
Before they miss me
(Solo descending)
I need some attention
So I pull out my blade
draw pictures on my skin
Til the blood drains
Ruby is playing, acting insane
playing her new game
So many questions plague my mind
But there’s no one I can talk to
Distracted by birds
As they whirl and chirp
They steal my attention
Til I forget my hurt
Then they fly
I sit alone and cry
And bleed
Then they fly
I sit alone and cry
And bleed
Doesn’t anybody love me?
Doesn’t anybody love me?

Grandma has a problem
She scared of everything
Nothing is ever clean
Grandpa has a bad back
From holding it all in
He hates his father
Even though he’s dead
They hate everything
Fears a way of life
And gods not good enough
Mamas got a new friend
Same as the old
They’re here then their gone
Like a songbird singing
They sing their song
And the they’re gone
My sister Ruby is playing
Acting in sane
playing her new game
So many questions
Plague my mind
But no one I can talk to
Doesn’t any body love me?
I’m holed up in my room
No one understands me
I hope it’s over soon
