People ask me why I cut my own skin It's kind of hard, but I'll try to explain. It's like a pressure inside me, And there's no way to let it out Except to cut my own skin And let it bleed out. I like to watch my imperfections Bleed out from my skin Letting out all the horrible feelings that I have within. But when I'm done--that's it. I don't feel any better I tell myself I'll quit-- Find new ways to cope when I'm under the weather. But I keep going back To my lovely razor. It has everything I lack, It makes me feel better. So, you see, it's not something I can control. My razor is almost like a part of me It's like a piece of my soul.
