I never deserved to live this life

but I can cut it away with this knife

my scars wont show for long

so what I'm doing can't be wrong

it never hurts for any length of time

this pain that I feel inside

I keep a box of matches always with me

through the flames, all I can see

is what I have to go through everyday

but I know that I can cut it away

as the blood drips down my arm

it makes me feel whole, it makes me feel warm

Whenever life gets me down

my trusty blade is always around

I know it's bad, I know it hurts

but living my life without it is worse

I know that I'm a bad person, I know that I'm weak

but cutting myself gives me some sort of release

it is so hard to realize, so hard to say

but until I get better, I have to cut all my pain away
