On the counter is a cut of meat
I look into it; dread in my soul
A cleaver
A razor blade
17 slices with no goal
Chasing the blood with an old stained rag
I cannot leave even a trace
If they saw
If they knew
I could never again meet their face
Deep inside I don't know why I keep coming back
Off the counter; back to the sham
Oh to be free
But that voice secures
'A butcher is all I am'
