She hurts herself, it's all she knows the pain inside grows & grows It runs too deep from head to toe How do you stop the wind that blows? Self-inflicted wounds, no relief in sight Light the fuse on the dynamite She scars herself, but can't release the knife Can't see the sun, it's always night She cries & cradles her legs with her arms Knows the enemy who does the most harm You'd think that would set off alarms Can't someone save her with their charms? She has never known the feeling of love Noone has held her high enough Is there some way she can rise above The self-destruction she's proof of

Self Destruction
She hurts herself, it's all she knows the pain inside grows & grows It runs too deep from head to toe How do you stop the wind that blows? Self-inflicted wounds, no relief in sight Light the fuse on the dynamite She scars herself, but can't release the knife Can't see the sun, it's always night She cries & cradles her legs with her arms Knows the enemy who does the most harm You'd think that would set off alarms Can't someone save her with their charms? She has never known the feeling of love Noone has held her high enough Is there some way she can rise above The self-destruction she's proof of
