I used to cut myself
You asked me to stop
Said it hurt you
Because it hurt me
Guess you don\'t know
You\'re the reason I took it up
Your words cut deeper than any knife
My marks are the physical manifestations
Of the wounds you gave me
And somehow my work hurts less
Just had to numb the pain
With more pain that I control
It was either this or go
Slipping away to someplace
Where I can\'t feel a thing
Looking down at myself
Wondering why do I do these things
But it scares me
Yea I scare myself
With the thought that I might never come back
I would stay away forever
You\'d never pierce me again
Feeling empty forever
I think I can handle that
But when the silence
Frightens me more
Than all of your rage
I know it\'s time
To return to earth
And be here in this body
It\'ll get better
Everybody tells me
Just give them a chance
You\'ll see them change
But tell me, why should I
Just hand you a knife of forgiveness
So I can turn to smile at trust
While you stab me in the back
Promises are bullets
Apologies are empty sounds
Coming from your lying lips
You can drop the act
It\'s all been done before
I\'m familiar with this plot
It\'s the one where I lose
How are you so blind
How can you not see
I didn\'t harm myself
You fucking cut me
Yet I am the one with the problem
Explain why I need some help
Just cause your shitty parenting is showing
Doesn\'t mean you should take it out on me
So the next time a new scar appears
Don\'t roll your eyes and say she\'s at it again
Look in my eyes and ask me why
Because I\'d love to enlighten you
