![]() {cover Johhny Cash} Hurt ~ Nine Inch Nails Hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain the only thing that's real The needle tears a hole the old familiar sting try to kill it all away but I remember everything What have I become? My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away in the end You could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time the feelings disappears You are someone else I am still right here What have I become? my sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away in the end You could have it all my empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt If I could start again a million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way...

Breathe Me ~ Sia
Help, I have done it again I have been here many times before Hurt myself again today And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame Be my friend Hold me, wrap me up Unfold me I am small I'm needy Warm me up And breathe me Ouch I have lost myself again Lost myself and I am nowhere to be found, Yeah I think that I might break I've lost myself again and I feel unsafe Be my friend Hold me, wrap me up Unfold me I am small I'm needy Warm me up And breathe me Be my friend Hold me, wrap me up Unfold me I am small I'm needy Warm me up And breathe me YOUTUBE Clarisse ~ Legião Urbana
Estou cansado de ser vilipendiado, incompreendido e descartado Quem diz que me entende nunca quis saber Aquele menino foi internado numa clínica Dizem que por falta de atenção dos amigos, das lembranças Dos sonhos que se configuram tristes e inertes Como uma ampulheta imóvel, não se mexe, não se move, não trabalha. E Clarisse está trancada no banheiro E faz marcas no seu corpo com seu pequeno canivete Deitada no canto, seus tornozelos sangram E a dor é menor do que parece Quando ela se corta ela se esquece Que é impossível ter da vida calma e força Viver em dor, o que ninguém entende Tentar ser forte a todo e cada amanhecer. Uma de suas amigas já se foi Quando mais uma ocorrência policial Ninguém entende, não me olhe assim Com este semblante de bom-samaritano Cumprindo o seu dever, como se eu fosse doente Como se toda essa dor fosse diferente, ou inexistente Nada existe pra mim, não tente Você não sabe e não entende E quando os antidepressivos e os calmantes não fazem mais efeito Clarisse sabe que a loucura está presente E sente a essência estranha do que é a morte Mas esse vazio ela conhece muito bem De quando em quando é um novo tratamento Mas o mundo continua sempre o mesmo O medo de voltar pra casa à noite Os homens que se esfregam nojentos No caminho de ida e volta da escola A falta de esperança e o tormento De saber que nada é justo e pouco é certo E que estamos destruindo o futuro E que a maldade anda sempre aqui por perto A violência e a injustiça que existe Contra todas as meninas e mulheres Um mundo onde a verdade é o avesso E a alegria já não tem mais endereço Clarisse está trancada no seu quarto Com seus discos e seus livros, seu cansaço Eu sou um pássaro Me trancam na gaiola E esperam que eu cante como antes Eu sou um pássaro Me trancam na gaiola Mas um dia eu consigo existir e vou voar pelo caminho mais bonito Clarisse só tem 14 anos...

Few Small Bruises ~ Maria Mena
Out here on the ledge I'm not far away from stepping off I finally picked out my cloud It's the one over there surrounded by all that air You reached out your hand And said "I understand" So why not come down? Well except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars I'm fine Oh except for a few small bruises, cuts and scars I'm fine Thank you for asking! I'm so glad we had this moment here alone I know they think I'm crazy But everything I am, is everything I was taught to be Except... As you read my words out loud Make me sound genius Make me sound special And mabye I'll come down... YOUTUBE Strawberry Gashes - Jack Off Jill
Turn her over A candle is lit, I see through her Blow it out and save all her ashes for me Curse me sold her The poison that runs it's course through her Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over Watch me fault her You're living like a disaster She said kill me faster with strawberry gashes all over Called her over and asked her if she was improving She said "feels fine" it's wonderful wonderful here Hex me told her I dreamt of a devil that knew her Pale white skin with strawberry gashes all over all over Watch me fault her You're living like a disaster She said kill me faster with strawberry gashes all over I lay quiet waiting for her voice to say "Some things you lose and some things you just give away" Scold me failed her If only I'd held on tighter to her Pale white skin that twisted and withered away from me away from me Watch me lose her It's almost like losing myself Give her my soul and let them take somebody else get away from me Watch me fault her You're living like a disaster She said kill me faster with strawberry gashes all over all over me YOUTUBE Razor ~ Foo Fighters

Biting keeps your words at bay Tending to the sores that stay Happiness is just a gash away When i open a familiar scar Pain goes shooting like a star Comfort hasn't failed to follow so far... And you might say it's self-indulgent You might say its self-destructive But, you see, it's more productive Than if i were to be healthy & pens and penknives take the blame Crane my neck & scratch my name But the ugly marks Are worth the momentary gain... When i jab a sharpened object in Choirs of angels seem to sing Hymns of hate in memorandum And you might say it's self-indulgent And you might say it's self-destructive But, you see, it's more productive Than if i were to be happy And sappy songs about sex and cheating Bland accounts of two lovers meeting Make me want to give mankind a beating And you might say it's self-destructive But, you see, i'd kick the bucket Sixty times before i'd kick the habit And as the skin rips off i cherish the revolting thought That even if i quit There's not a chance in hell i'd stop And anyone can see the signs Mittens in the summertime Thank you for your pity, you are too kind And you might say its self-inflicted But you see that's contradictive Why on earth would anyone practice self destruction? And pain opinions are sitcom feeding They dont know that their minds are teething Makes me want to give mankind a beating I'm tried bandages and sinking I've tried gloves and even thinking I've tried vaseline I've tried everything And no-one cares if your back is bleeding They're concerned with their hair receding Looking back it was all maltreating Every thought that occurred misleading Makes me want to give myself a beating....

My weight My face My height My race I'm such a disgrace. You're perfectly flawed You're perfectly incomplete Like cracks in the glass And faded photographs You're perfectly flawed You're perfectly incomplete Let them come near Imperfections will keep you unique Nothing left to lose, just try again Nothing left to lose, just try again Its the same doubt, The same dream It's the same sabotage 'cause I'm the enemy It's the same night Same day It's the same parasite, Feeding on the betrayed.

Does anybody know how I feel? Sometimes I'm numb, sometimes I'm overcome Does anybody care what's going on? Do I have to wear my scars like a badge on my arm For you to see me, I need release Do I have to scream for you to hear me? Do I have to bleed for you to see me? 'Cause I grieve, you're not listening to me Do I need to scream? Has anybody seen what's been done? Where was my defense? No one heard my protest The eyes of God were watching me It's time to make my peace, let it go and be released So I can breathe again I'm on my knees I've been marked, set apart But I'm cut so deep and afraid of the dark One drop of blood from the hole in Your hand Is enough to heal me and make me stand 'Cause I'm clean, He is listening to me I don't have to scream for Him to hear me Don't have to bleed for Him to see me 'Cause I'm clean, He is listening to me I don't have to scream I don't have to bleed 'Cause I'm clean, He is listening And I don't have to scream YOUTUBE Hero ~ Superchic[k]
No one sits with him, he doesn’t fit in, But we feel like we do when we make fun of him, 'Cause you want to belong, do you go along? 'Cause his pain is the price paid for you to belong It’s not like you hate him or want him to die, But maybe he goes home and thinks suicide, Or he comes back to school with a gun at his side, Any kindness from you might have saved his life... Heroes are made when you make a choice... You could be a hero, Heroes do what’s right, You could be a hero, You might save a life, You could be a hero, you could join the fight, For what’s right, for what’s right, for what’s right... No one talks to her, she feels so alone, She’s in too much pain to survive on her own, The hurt she can’t handle overflows to a knife, She writes on her arm, wants to give up her life, Each day she goes on is a day that she is brave, Fighting the lie that giving up is the way, Each moment of courage her own life she saves, When she throws the pills out, a hero is made... No one talks to him about how he lives, He thinks that the choices he makes are just his, Doesn’t know he’s a leader with the way he behaves, And others will follow the choices he’s made, He lives on the edge, he’s old enough to decide, His brother who wants to be him is just nine, He can do what he wants because it’s his right, The choices he makes change a nine-year-old's life... Little Mikey-Dee was the one in class Who everyday got brutally harassed This went on for years Till he decided that never again would he shed another tear So he walked through the door And grabbed the .44 out of his father's dresser drawer He said 'I can't take life no more' And like that a life can be lost But this ain't even about that All of us just sat back and watched it happen Thinking its not our responsibility To solve a problem that isn't even about me This is our problem. This is just one of the daily scenarios In which we choose to close our eyes Instead of doing the right thing If we make a choice and be the voice For those who won't speak up for themselves How many lives would be saved, changed, rearranged? Now it's our time to pick a side. So don't keep walking by not wanting to intervene, Cause you just want to exist and never be seen. So lets wake up, change the world Our time is now. You could be a hero - (Our time is now) heroes do what’s right You could be a hero - (Our time is now) you might save a life You could be a hero - (Our time is now) you could join the fight For what’s right, for what’s ri-ight...

They pull up their chairs to the table She stares at the food on her plate At the toast and the butter Her father, her mother, she pushes away And they rise in the morning And they sleep in the dark Even though nobody's looking She's falling apart She gets home from school too early And closes the door to her room There's nothing inside her She's weak and she's tired of feeling like this And they rise in the morning And they sleep in the dark And even though nobody's looking She's fallng apart They call her for dinner, she makes up a reason She looks at her arms and she rolls down her sleeves And her mother is starting to see through her lies And last night her father had tears in his eyes And they rise in the morning And they sleep in the dark And even though nobody's looking She's falling apart And we rise in the morning And we sleep in the dark And even though nobody's looking She's falling apart YOUTUBE Cut ~ Plumb
I'm not a stranger No, I am yours With crippled anger And tears that still drip sore. A fragile flame aged In misery And when our eyes meet I know you see I do not want to be afraid I do not want to die inside just to breathe in I'm tired of feeling so numb Relief exists I find it when I am cut I may seem crazy Or painfully shy And these scars wouldn't be so hidden If you would just look me in the eye I feel alone here and cold here No I don't want to die But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside I do not want to be afraid I do not want to die inside just to breathe in I'm tired of feeling so numb Relief exists I find it when I am cut Pain I am not alone I am not alone I'm not a stranger No I am yours With crippled anger And tears that still drip sore But I do not want to be afraid I do not want to die inside just to breathe in I'm tired of feeling so numb Relief exists I found it when I was cut.

On the Chicago River after dark We watch the city lights tear the sky apart The wind was blowing her hair around As the scenery explodes I tell you how I fell into an old cliche Always on the road, only halfway sane No hospital can fix what I've become. I've trapped myself in a ring of fire. If I say I'm okay, I'm also a liar The only way out is through the pain. How am I gonna get through this? I got so low that I'd get high Just to sit and watch the miles go by. Now I'm cold and sweaty a nauseous heart I've got a million addictions wearing me down. I fell into an old cliche Always on the road, only halfway sane I've trapped myself in a ring of fire. If I say I'm okay, I'm also a liar The only way out is through the pain And as I write these words my hands start to shake Withdrawal's kicking in not a second too late. The only way out is through the pain. Tomorrow I'll start again. And now I'm begging for help I know I can't get I've got to face this one alone. And if I don't make it, Remember that I'll always be a part of you. I've trapped myself in a ring of fire If I say I'm okay, I'm also a liar The only way out is through the pain And as I write these words, my hands start to shake Withdrawal's kicking in not a second too late. The only way out is through the pain. Tomorrow I'll start again. YOUTUBE Untitled ~ Vex Red

She's upset Bad day Heads for the dresser drawer To driver her pain away. Nothing good can come of this. She opens it, There's nothing there There's only left over tears. Mom and dad had no right she screams As the anger runs down both of her cheeks. Then she closed her eyes And found relief in a knife The blood flows as she cries All alone the way she feels Left alone to deal with all the pain-drenched sorrow Bite the lip just forget the bleeding Then she closed her eyes And found relief in a knife The blood flows as she cries Wooah oh Then she closed her eyes And found relief in a knife The blood flows as she cries Curled up, She's on the floor. Relief left her... She had hoped for something more From it (Hoped for something more) From it He leans down to comfort her She is weeping And He Wraps His arms around And around and around and... The deeper you cut The deeper I hurt The deeper you cut It only gets worse The deeper you cut The deeper I hurt The deeper you cut It only gets worse Gets worse Now she's slowly opening... Yeah, slowly opening New eyes... Then she opened her eyes And found relief in His life And put down her knives Then she opened her life And found relief through His eyes And put down She put down, Her knife. YOUTUBE |
