They never tell you how much the cuts burn The way it feels like cigarettes being put out on every slit you’ve created Arms, wrists, shoulders, legs all raging in a blaze of boiling red You think you would get used to the sensation, now that the cuts have become habit But even through the numbness, it always creeps up, burning

The things they don’t tell you
They never tell you how much the cuts burn The way it feels like cigarettes being put out on every slit you’ve created Arms, wrists, shoulders, legs all raging in a blaze of boiling red You think you would get used to the sensation, now that the cuts have become habit But even through the numbness, it always creeps up, burning
