I'm not a stranger
No, I am yours
With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore
A fragile flame aged
With misery
And when our eyes meet
I know you'll 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
Though 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
No, I am yours
With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore
A fragile flame aged
With misery
And when our eyes meet
I know you'll 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
Though 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

It's a stupid song about cutting to try to curtail temporary pain. It's also a song to get attention from someone who doesn't wish to give attention. If someone wants to cut, than s/he will cut. Nobody can stop him. Nobody. It's a conscious choice and the cutter knows the pain will still be there after each scar. How many bands must one wear to hide pain before s/he's content with himself. My heart is with myself and my reality, not fantasy and penpals that are not wanted. "I am not alone" refers to the person or persons who should be there for emotional support, such as a girlfrend. To expect it from anyone else is selfish and cruel.
"My heart is with myself and my reality, not fantasy and penpals that are not wanted. "I am not alone" refers to the person or persons who should be there for emotional support, such as a girlfrend. To expect it from anyone else is selfish and cruel." The fat man concentrates on reality. Reality is the change of seaons. The liar concentrates on trying to manipulate someone into speaking with her. If I could, I'd send you money to get you to stop this shit. <br />
Cutting has nothing to do with trying to get attention - from anyone. Yes, it's a concious choice, but it's driven by an UNconcious unfulfilled need that the person most likely has little understanding of. For example, when someone is abused by the person who is supposed to be protecting and loving them, they come to associate pain with love, and that pain is a substitute that they find comfort in and can provide for themselves. It's really not that hard to figure out.
