Part of me won't go away Everyday reminded how much I hate it Weighted against the consequences Can't live without it, so it's senseless Wanna cut it out of my soul And just live with a gaping hole Take control of my life and wash out all the burnt taste I made the problems in the first place Hang my head low 'cause it's part of me You hardly see it right next to the heart of me Heard of me, the routine scar New cuts cover where the old ones are And now I'm sick of this I can't stand the sandpaper thoughts that grate on my sanity I rather not even be then the man That's staring in the mirror through me Cut myself free willingly, stop just what's killing me Cut myself free willingly, stop just what's killing me Cut myself free willingly, stop just what's killing me Cut myself free willingly, stop just what's killing me I feel it everyday, I feel I made my way I feel it swell up inside Swell up inside, swallowing me Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it Once it's been dealt with you feel like You've been touched by something angelic And then melted down into a pool of peace Cease to be the animal you used to be Remove the broken parts you know were wrong And feel the calm when the problem's all gone And then you start to see another piece Of yourself that you can't let be Memories of the last fight to free yourself Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well And now you know that you can choose To lose the part in your heart where your insides bruise You can live if you're willing to Put a stop to just what's killing you Cut myself free willingly, stop just what's killing me Cut myself free willingly, stop just what's killing me Cut myself free willingly, stop just what's killing me Cut myself free willingly, stop just what's killing me I feel it everyday, I feel I made my way I feel it swell up inside Swell up inside, swallowing me Alive in me, inside of me A part of me screams away silently Alive in me, inside of me A part of me screams away silently This part of me won't go away Part of me won't go away Everywhere I look around I see how everyone ought to be Every time I see myself I see there's always something wrong with me Everywhere I look around I see how everyone ought to be Every time I see myself I see there's always something wrong with me I feel it everyday, I feel I made my way I feel it swell up inside Swell up inside, swallowing me I feel it everyday, I feel I made my way I feel it swell up inside Swell up inside, swallowing me I feel it swell up inside Swell up inside, swallowing me I feel it swell up inside Swell up inside, swallowing me

    General Comment:The good thing about this song is the instrumental at the end of it. It sounds similiar to Joe Hahn's Session on Meteora.

    General Comment:This song actually has a few elements. It's about self injury, hiding your true self and higly possibly about DRUGS. Even though the song clearly mentions stuff about injuring yourself it can be mental injuries. Doing drugs is technacly like stabbing your brain.

    Eighter way I find hurting yourself RIDICOULOUS. I have friends who do it but I don't find any reason to do it. When I was in 5th grade I was close though. It was the low point of my life. low self esteem, cold lonely feeling, crying in the bathroom floor and so on. I did cut myself once or twice but quickly learned it wasn't the answer. Cutting yourself only makes EVERYTHING worse.

    General Comment:I think that this song (similar to Breaking The Habbit) is about seeing more to life that what is hurting you... And/or itcould be about how you shouldn't blame other people for things that go wrong because they are your own fault... It's just a thought... :-P

    General Comment:I can relate my eating disorder to this because how he says "Take control of my life", is like having an ed and trying to have control. And when he says part of me wont go away, and talks about how much he hates part of himself, and i hate part of myself for having an eating disorder. "Remove the broken parts you know were wrong
    And feel the calm when the problem's all gone
    And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can't let be" is like you finally reach your goal weight and then you find something wrong with yourself again and try to fix that, it's just a never ending cycle.

    Also, this song is about self-injury because "cut myself free" - it's like when I get mad at myself for eating too much or whatever I cut myself and it feels like im free.

    So basically I think the song is about the never-ending cycles of anorexiqa/bulimia and self-injury.

    General Comment:Don't get me wrong, LP is AWESOME, but this is for all the ppl that say this is the best song ever because they cut themselves. I know everyone does it for different reasons, but it makes me so mad to hear you people say that. I'm 16 and my girlfriend cuts herslf. She does it ALOT less than she did before we started going out but it still hurts me so much. I looked up this song on this site because its one of her favourites. When i read the lyrics and your comments i almost cried because you all seem so comfortable with the fact that you cut. But do you really think of what it does to the people that are close to you. I donno, it's not like im going to stop you from cutting or anything, and i'm not exactly trying to. All i ask is that you're not selfish and that you think of the people that love you before the next time you cut yourself.
