The darkness draws you in
A hidden soul, so pained
A secret sin
The rush of anger leaves you feeling drained
Thoughts swirl around you
Broken dreams and wishes emerge
There's nothing you can do
You can't resist the urge
The need for relief is suddenly so real
Searching for your safety
Fingers brush against cold hard steel
You take a deep breath and hold your arm steady
A gleam of metal
Reflected in your crying eyes
Cutting as deep as you can go
Biting back your anguished cries
Blood drips down your arm
And you receive a sick thrill in your demented soul
From such twisted harm
Tearing yourself apart really does make you whole

The darkness draws you in
A hidden soul, so pained
A secret sin
The rush of anger leaves you feeling drained
Thoughts swirl around you
Broken dreams and wishes emerge
There's nothing you can do
You can't resist the urge
The need for relief is suddenly so real
Searching for your safety
Fingers brush against cold hard steel
You take a deep breath and hold your arm steady
A gleam of metal
Reflected in your crying eyes
Cutting as deep as you can go
Biting back your anguished cries
Blood drips down your arm
And you receive a sick thrill in your demented soul
From such twisted harm
Tearing yourself apart really does make you whole
