Constellations

Sometimes I cut myself to show that I don’t care

Then I realize no one else does either,

So I cut myself again.

Sometimes I cut myself when I wish I could cry

I’d rather see my blood drip,

Than the tears from my eyes.

Sometimes I cut myself just to know I’m alive

I’d rather tear my flesh out,

Than let your memories thrive.

Sometimes I cut myself, to prove that I’m an atheist

God is inside everybody,

So god is bleeding with me.

Sometimes I cut myself ‘cause I like the way it flows

I wish my blood would scream on its way out,

And let the whole world know.

Sometimes I cut myself just out of habit

There’s nothing I can do to distract me when,

I think of how I let you win again.

Sometimes I cut myself imagining my wrist was you

Bleeding all the bad blood out,

So I could start anew.

Sometimes I cut myself deeper than I should

Bleeding out all my secrets,

Wading waist deep in my regrets.

Sometimes I cut myself and whip it with a belt

Pain doesn’t feel like pain,

When pain’s all you’ve ever felt.

And sometimes I cut myself again and again

To squeeze in all the pain,

Hoping to live one lesser day
