LSS from Libertine by Leonard Baum

i shouldn't be trusted with a crime scene
i should stick to what i know
i'll keep the gauze as a souvenir
because i get so scared when you threaten to go

do you know what it's like to hide the knives
and bless each morning i find you alive?
i'll break my legs so you have a place to stand
i'll keep quiet for the sake of your band

i fix you a drink of coffee and peroxide
you say it hurts so that makes me the bad guy
the "what if's" and "thank god i was here"
and you polish it off with a shot and a beer

i shouldn't be trusted with a crime scene
but this is all i've ever known
i cleaned your blood so it's our secret
and you put on a long sleeve shirt and go
