I can't stop it, this urge to harm
My skin, my body, my mental alarm
It's an addiction that I can't shake
And every cut is a mistake
I've tried to quit, to leave it behindBut the pain inside is always on my mind
Every scar tells a different story
Of my struggle for control and gloryThe only one who could ease my pain
Is the one who has left me in disdain
I begged for help, for them to stay
But they turned and walked awayNow I'm left with this addiction
This constant urge, this painful affliction
I wish I could break free, be whole
But instead I'm trapped in this dark holeI know I need to find a way out
But the path is unclear, filled with doubt
Until then, I'll keep hurting myself
Finding temporary relief, then back on the shelfI pray for strength, for love, for light
To defeat this demon that haunts my night
But until then, I'll keep on going
Through the pain, the tears, and the knowing
