My skin it slices, With pain comes pleasure. It’s me, my crisis It hurts too much to measure. I know I shouldn’t, But what’s to stop me? I need to try but I couldn’t, Who else am I supposed to be? I scar on the outside, I scab and bleed and cry, But it’s the thing on the inside, The numbness is there so I can’t try. To help myself. To help them. I’m not myself, But only for him.

Only for Him
My skin it slices, With pain comes pleasure. It’s me, my crisis It hurts too much to measure. I know I shouldn’t, But what’s to stop me? I need to try but I couldn’t, Who else am I supposed to be? I scar on the outside, I scab and bleed and cry, But it’s the thing on the inside, The numbness is there so I can’t try. To help myself. To help them. I’m not myself, But only for him.
