Self Inflicted Violence Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you ever look in the mirror and don't recognise yourself?
I stare into my eyes and they don’t stare back at me
Who are you? Who lives in this body that I tried to escape for so long?
They say you realise what you had when it's already gone

[Chorus 1]
Screaming in silence, indulging in pain
Is this I, or am I going insane?

[Verse 2]
Forcing needles down my throat, internal bleeding
Is this reality or am I only dreaming?
Etched by the eternal tears of sadness
My face feels sticky as my flesh disintegrates
Who ought to save me from this madness?
A cry of anguish resonates as I dissipate

[Chorus 2]
I'm forcing needles down my throat
But I feel numb and I want to hurt again

[Verse 3]
Remember the little knife you gave me to protect myself?
It’s cutting up my stomach before I stick it in my leg
My wounds are oozing woe but I feel nothing instead
Time to move on, we have no time to wallow in regret
It's all in my head

[Chorus 1]
Screaming in silence, indulging in pain
Is this I, or am I going insane?

[Bridge]
I don't remember the last time I felt happy
Maybe I was born with the urge to dwell in pain
I take the pill that promised to lift the sorrow

[Chorus 2]
But I feel numb and I want to hurt again
I want to hurt again
I'm forcing needles down my throat, feel numb
I'm forcing needles down my throat, feel numb
