when did it start? When My friend said it was fun It started as a habit, but now it's more like an art It was better than holding back my screams From when anger had filled me I didn't mean to do it the first time I was angry, enraged And i just grabbed a blade Watching the blood leak I felt my anger begin to cease When my mother called me fat It was there to help with stupid crap When something was in my system And he wouldn't stop when I said no It brought me up from feeling low When Alex was killed It kept my cup filled It has been there for me to express my pain It is the one thing that won't ever feel in vain Daddy didn't want me Moms too dead Alex had to leave And I'm lost inside my head I don't know where the pieces went Maybe their here under the flesh I'm tired of all this childhood pain I think it's time I start to express
