Sit and cut once more.
Seperate my flesh from bone.
Bleeding on the floor.

Pain deep into my soul.
Ripping me apart.
A thousand cuts, upon my flesh.
 
Nothing left to gain.
Except for pain.
No soul within me burning.
Just wounds that never heal.

Scars and cuts, all that remain.

broken heart....

i heard my heart break
i felt it crack in two parts
us...together...no

nothing like this pain
don't want to feel it again
soul destroying pain

i was younger then
now i'm older and wiser
you, my horizon

yes, i need to risk
to live, to love again, free
so, i come to you

drop a dime

i'm livin the fucking dream
now that she's gone
but still can't stand to see a subaru
or hear the name scott
it is what it is
so i delete numbers from my phone
and pretend i don't know it when they call

ticket vender at the station
said he doesn't know of a destination
that to this day has payphones
just wanna dial her up myself
anonymously
no caller i.d.
to keep control
heavy breathe
i bet she'll still know it's me
and realize
i still exsanguinate personal error
more than extracurricularly
i'll always wanna show her to the bottom of the hudson
but i don't believe in hurting stupid animals anymore

Blood red ruby's run down my arm,
Causing no pain, causing no harm.
These blood red ruby's were caused by you,
Damming me to see it through.

Shards of glass keep falling down,
As my fucked up world spins around.
Glimpses of who I used to be,
Everything you tore from me.

Did you think you could break me down,
Lying six feet underground.
You took my life, you took my soul,
A shell of myself growing old.

You tore me up, you did me harm.
Watch as these blood red ruby's run down my arm.

Things worth looking for
are certainly worth gaining
But i'm not looking for love or riches
I'm in search of some pain

I casually start with my arms
The usual place of my self harm
The tip of the blade digs deep
Alas no reaction not even a peep

The blood rolls down as I move on
Surely I must feel it in my legs
I run the blade over my thighs
But the stinging only subsides

The frustration is unbearable
Have i succumb to such numbness
That I no longer feel any pain?
This depression has beaten me

In a frivolous attempt i try my chest
Hoping it won't fail me like the rest
One slash cuts deep near my heart
the blood flows as i let out a howl

The numbness deflates from within
making me feel human once again
The demons dripping out with such fury
I begin to feel normal for once

There is such peace in feeling pain
The feeling can be so overwhelming
When you mutilate your outer body
To bleed just so you know your alive

Drowning:

Can I go back under please?
I know it's hard to breathe
But forgive me, I like the heat
When your lungs just give in

I can't think
For I'm down underwater
I can't help but sink
Forgive me, dearest lover

As I rest my head on the ocean floor
I can finally sleep
I've been forgotten before
Now I'm under the deep.

Ive been hurt so many times
That sometimes i dont know if im really awake
Or if its just a nightmare
So i take out my blade and slit my wrist
To find out that the pain im feeling is real
And is not a dream
Everything that is happening
Is really happening
The abuse
The Blood
The pain
It is all happening right now
I was 11 when all this pain started happening
When i first started cutting
I maybe addicted the pain of cutting
I feel so much better  after i do it
I have many scars
But every scar has a story
Ive been cutting for so long that I learned how to make it look like stretch marks
