A hard life has twisted a fascination in my mind It's hard to understand but the only one I could find To release me of stress of everyday life To rip at my flesh with razor sharp knives To penetrate my skin with razors and hooks The freedom I feel is often mistook For self-mutilation, is all that they see But they have no idea what's inside of me I do not feel as though I belong in this world I belong in the world of dreams and of death Leave the flesh Rip it away from your bones Skinned alive Leave the flesh Self-mutilation is so divine Leave the flesh Rip it away from your bones Skinned alive Leave the flesh Self-mutilation is so divine Leave the flesh!
