Part of me wont go away.
Every day Im reminded how much I hate it;
Weighted against the consequences
Cant live without it, so its senseless.
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And just live with a gaping hole.
Take control of my life
And wash out the burnt taste.
I made these problems in the first place-
Hang my head low cause its part of me.
You hardly see right next to the heart of me.
Battle wages, the routine scar-
New cuts cover where the old ones are.
And now Im sick of this-
I cant stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade away on my sanity.
I rather not even be the man thats staring in the mirror through me...

I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside-
...Swallowing me

It can be frightening if youve never felt it-
Once its been dealt with, you feel like youve been touched by something angelic.
And then melted down into a pool of peace,
You cease to be the animal you used to be.
Remove the broken parts you know were wrong
And feel the karma when the problems gone.
Then you start to see another piece of yourself that you cant let be,
And that reason will be the last fight to free yourself.
Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well;
And now you know you can choose to lose that part in your heart
Where your insides bruise.
You can live if youre willing to
And put a stop to whats killing you.

Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away silently -
This part of me just wont go away.
Everywhere I look around, I see how everyone ought to be.
Every time I see myself, theres always something wrong with me...
