I need to hurt to feed my sanity I need to bleed to feel alive I need to hurt to feed my sanity I need to bleed to feel alive Self-hatred burned into my mind My thoughts are fuelled with rage and delusions I need to hurt to feed my sanity I need to bleed All this vision frying my perception of reality Can't distinguish apparitions from the real world Losing all sense of moral control I slit my wrist to feel alive once more The euphoria bursts through the veins My heart is burning can you hear it beat Streams of pleasant warmth run down my hands I cleanse my face covered my own decaying blood I need to hurt to feed my sanity I need to bleed to feel alive I need to hurt to feed my sanity I need to bleed to feel alive One last time I close my eyes as darkness fills the room A single exhalation marks the passing of my soul Finally I am free from the clutches of this conscience No more suffering in this shell of devastation I need to hurt to feed my sanity I need to bleed to feel alive I need to hurt to feed my sanity I need to bleed to feel alive
