Cutting

Tell me how to feel

Show me what is real

I tried to back away but everwhere's the same

And in this over-conscious world all I want to do is dream

I don't know what you held on to

To get this far but I need some too

Because I'm slipping from existence

And there's just no resistence

To stop this all from happening

Today the pain

It got so bad I had to scream

I'm cutting myself

Because I cannot face

The world around me

Is nothing

I'm cutting up myself

Because there's no way out

Dispersing what I feel

So I feel nothing

I don't know what to do

To be as numb as you

I must be doing something wrong to always feel this down

With an overwhelming urge to shout at those around

I tried to reach out to the past

But the lesson learned is to not look back

The memories will just confuse

An overwhelmed and frightened youth

I've learned to accept it

I know that that's pathetic

I can't explain to others

I know that they'll reject it

Today the pain

It got so bad I had to scream

I'm cutting myself

Because I cannot face

The world around me

Is nothing

I'm cutting up myself

Because there's no way out

Dispersing what I feel

So I feel nothing

Today the pain

It got so bad I had to scream

Today the pain

It felt so bad I had to scream

I had to scream

I had to scream

I had to scream
