I've found another soul
willing to take the risk
He promised me discretion
Concealed behind a mask
Under the cloak of darkness
His hands will lead the way
He'll never ask me why
I find such freedom in a blade
Black market haircuts
The first slice was the hardest
but then it fell away
my burdens all but melted
beneath his warm embrace
In just a flash of metal
The deed was good and done
My soul is liberated
My sins are overblown
Black market haircuts
