chorus
Cut away the flesh from me.
I'm left with pain and agony.
A symbol of my misery,
Is if you cut away the flesh from me.
1st verse
Breathless and broken.
Old wounds left open.
Still here and hopin,
That I'll make it through the dark.
Pathetically poisoned.
Don't have a voice and,
This was my choice and,
Passiveness has left its mark.
And I can show you somethin that will make you sick.
I Keep comin back and I keep gettin tricked.
I'm supposed to be some sort of impenetrable force,
Yet when I don't bleed you act like I should feel remorse!
If You really want to see,
Cut away the flesh from me!
2nd verse
Dying to stay here,
But I'll have to pay dear,
And sleep beside my fear.
I can't loosen my grip.
I've tried to love you,
And all that is of you.
Don't say I'm above you.
It's my turn to slip.
And I can tell you something that will make you sick.
All the hopeless causes are the ones I pick.
I'm supposed to stand and watch you cut yourself again.
But when you cut too deep I'm supposed to step aside for friends!
If I'm not meant to be,
Cut away the flesh from me!
bridge
HATE THIS FLESH,
I LOVE THIS LIFE.
BURNED AND BLESSED;
SWEAT SEARING STRIFE.
WON'T FORGET:
YOU LOCKED THE DOOR.
BROKE IT DOWN,
THEN BEGGED FOR MORE.
HEAVEN AT MY SIDE, HEAVEN AT MY SIDE.
ANGELS BURNED AND DIED, KEEP MY HEART INSIDE.
Author notes
Just a part of what lies inside. This was not my first choice for this contest- I had thought to enter another song I wrote: gone. But I guess I am gonna go with this one, as it seems to be the more popular of the two so far. Hope yah like it- it's angst.

When are you recording?!?!?
I really like this. I would definately listen to it everyday if I had it on a cd.
Let me know if you ever record anything! I definately wanna hear it!
My favorite part has to be the first four lines of the first verse. Even though you're broken you still have hope. That would have been very beneficial to me about eight months ago when I was sad, depressed and thinking about suicide as an option.
Keep up the amazing work!

well, I have been in several bands, but am not currently in any. Though my wife and I are planning to start one soon. I'll keep you posted. Thanx for the review!
