Society eats you alive
Burying you in it's lies
Leaving you to rot away
With others victimized

"I know what it's like to want to die. How it hurts to smile. How you try to fit in but you can't. How you hurt yourself on the outside to try to kill the thing on the inside."

- Girl, Interrupted

"You bleed, just to know you're alive."

- "Iris", Goo Goo Dolls

"Tell me that you don't take that blade and drag it across your skin, and pray for the courage to press down."

- Girl, Interrupted

I'll chain you to the truth
For the truth shall set you free
I'll turn the screws of vengeance
And bury you with honesty

- Lamb of God

How will you know I am hurting if you cannot see my pain?
To wear it on my body tells what words cannot explain.

What's the point in trying to stop [cutting]
If I live for the pleasureful pain
What's the point in living my life
If I have nothing to gain
