Lyrics

I feel that familiar urge
It's coming again to surge
I know that empty feeling where shadows prevail
Screaming into silence where loneliness derails
Locked away in my self-imposed jail
Every night I escape without fail
I need the insanity, I need this damn release
I need the rush to relax and
Deeply breathe
I'm sure I can hide my disease

[Chorus]
It cuts like a knife
I'm addicted to the pain
Just another day in my life
I can't bear my lack of control that pervades
So I bleed

I live a lie that I tell the outside
Everything's good, I'm fine
Then my darker self comes, I can't express another way
No one understands me cuz it's the choice that I've made
Yet behind closed doors when I hide
I bring out tools of my demise
Carve the lines and shapes in me until I can't deny
The sting of steel is cold and real
I feel alive
Living life like Jekyll and Hyde

Chorus

I am better than this, these scars won't define me anymore
Time will take this moment, I'll not look back cuz I've won this war

[Chorus]
It cuts like a knife
I am lusting after the blade
Just another day in my life
I can't bear my lack of control that pervades
So I bleed
