I drown out your voice,
with music so sweet,
can't take the pain inside,
and so I cheat.
I drag it out,
with each swipe of the blade,
a steady stream of blood,
with every cut that I made.
I reveled in the ecstasy of the pain,
the more wounds I made, the more the room span,
my hidden pleasure, my private shame,
You ask why I do it,
I say "because I can."
Because of you,
my arm smiles wider than my face,
it's fucked up, true,
I'm nothing but wasted space.
So cut me open,
bleed me dry,
beat me blue and black,
just don't ask why.
Because of you, I am here.
Because of you I live a lie.
Because of you I shed my crimson tears.
Because of you I want to die.
