Cut
Embracing Pain: Blood Lemon's Cut Unveils the Raw Reality
Lyrics
What did you expect
Questioning expectations
Beneath fluorescent lamps
In a clinical, artificial setting
With the cynical truth mirrors always tell
Reflecting the harsh reality consistently shown
First you take a breath
Preparing for an action
Then you touch your flesh
Physically connecting with oneself
Find the sharp edge and plunge it in
Deliberately harming oneself
What did you expect
Repeating the initial question
Once release gave way to regret
After the relief comes remorse
And your scars wear better than your shame
Scars are more acceptable than guilt
And I can't ask you why
Unable to inquire about motivations
You need your knife
Dependency on self-harm
To feel anything
Needing pain to feel something
Release me
Pleading for liberation
Let the pain so wet
Expressing the need to rid oneself of emotional pain
Be wrung from my chest
Desiring to release inner anguish
Release me
Pleading for freedom from emotional distress
