Razor blades cut and slice
Crimson fire rolls from my veins
Shut up I don't need your help
Leave me be
Just leave me here to bleed

Get out of my face
You don't know anything
On the outside I smile and bite my tongue
But the monster inside me is baring its fangs
Its whispers begging me to let it out

It digs its claws deeper into me each day
I am slipping away
Loosing myself to the beast inside
And you don't see a thing
I am loosing control

I dress differently
I talk differently
I act differently
Guess what I am different now
I'm no longer me, no longer who I used to be

And you think you know
You don't know anything
Remember when you said...when I said... ..
All gone to Hell now though and all I can think is
Fuck you I don't need your memories

Cleanse me; I want to be purified
I want to go one day without thinking about you
Is that so much to ask
And I fuck it up worse each time
But I can't stop myself

I hold my ears and scream
All I do is illusion no one sees the truth
Smile on the outside
But this monster in me is ripping me apart
I want to close my eyes without seeing your face

I'm looking into this mirror and I don't know what I see
That's not me reflected back, it can't be
Nothing is real anymore
I rip my own world apart; and as it all falls down I smile
Yeah this is finally right

Now the way I feel inside has found a way out
Fuck you I don't need you I don't need your memories
Cleanse me I want to be purified
Rinse your sin away from me
Make me clean again

You think I wanted this
You think I wanted to feel this way
Is that what kind of monster you think I am
You think you know; Fuck you
You don't know anything

Razor blades cut and slice
Crimson fire rolls from my veins
Shut up I don't need your help
Leave me be
Just leave me here to bleed

Now the way I feel has finally found a way out
I'm too far gone, you can't reach me, your not even trying to
You think I wanted this, you think I wanted it to be this way
You think you know, you don't know anything
I am crying on the inside and I just want to be set free

This light in me is dimming away
As this beast takes over me
Is this the way it was meant to be?
Why won't you save me, you don't even try to
Fuck you, I don't need your memories

I just need you to love me...why is that so hard?
But now someone does care
My demons want to be set loose
As I bleed and drift away
They, at least, love me
