lyrics

Rip the flesh to feel alive, soak the tears you'll never cry
Feel the pain to feel okay, seer the flesh for sorrow to delay

Cut the shell, make a mark, forever tarnished, always damaged (x2)

Feeling empty, no control, eyes averted, voice is low
Facade is on - fake smiles all day, when finally home, the soul decays

Cut the shell, make a mark, forever tarnished, always damaged
Feel the blood, watch it pool, on the severed skin, how did this begin?

What are you doing? Permanent scars
It's not worth it - your flesh memoirs
It's not worth it, they'll be a chain
You'll look at them and just see pain

Please be good, please stay strong
You know that we love you no matter what you do
You'll be fine, just trust your mind
You know that you can, you know that you can
