I cut to fade the pain away

the pain I feel inside all day

this pain, this hurt, it burns, it stings

this agony inside caries me on bloody wings

of pain and fear, I cannot hide this pain inside

I let it out and then I hide

the scars of pain, the truth, the marks

to run from all their harsh remarks

the pain they say is not the way

the pain they say, just cannot stay

the pain they say must go away

but I cannot push the pain aside

it seems to cling with pity not pride

it hurts like hell, I cannot stand

to be treated like I am not a man

but a flesh covered machine, with no feelings or heart

but with out the feelings life would be so tart

it really seems that I am cursed

I am cursed to be immersed

immersed in love that is unrequited

to be in love and not invited

in to my loves heart and life

so I take this love in strife

and I cut it out, to cut away

I cut it down, I cut to stay

to stay sane, in my 'right mind'

I cut to cut, to cut away

the hurt and pain that rules my life

the truth and hurt and total strife

it all has become too much for me

I don’t want to let you see

this side of me the weakened self

I take the blade down off of the shelf

I take it now and make me bleed

I take it down for this need

I hurt inside and make the skin

bear the shame that hides within
