Can't Afford to Die

Fingers severed on a mirrors edge
Isolated with no respect
Conversation has been replaced
Punctured slowly ideas escape
My possessions are all I have
One man's medicine poisons man
My subconscious knowledge safe
Get respectable faces donned
Turn blind eyes to what's gone on
Slowly leak ideas through
Would you recognise I knew
Used expressions to converse
Feel much better but I'm still not cured
