A parent walks in, on a child cutting themself,
Laughs and says, you're silly dear, you're only hurting yourself,
So cut deep, or dont cut at all,
Are you listening?
I dont care what your parents tell you, dont cut at all
Oh, please be listening,
I dont care what those bastards tell you, dont cut at all,
You're staggering in, you find a finger gagging yourself,
You heave and say that, I'm not like those pigs,
I dont care whats good for my health,
Controlling the room with tilted thighs,
It comes to me as no surprise, that I even flicker on my own
Feed the one thats closer,
As you're flickering on,
Feed the one thats closed,
As you flicker
Starving artist you will, I said it before,
Shed your burdens and build on
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper,
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper,
I make the demands,
Well, I'm doubting my portrait of skin, but
I sure as hell won't find limbs down my throat,
The substance of wait defines the beauty,
Laced behind the pride of my even scales,
They stand alone,
So...cut,
It's not living deeply,
So...cut,
No, not at all,
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper,
You shed your clothes in spite and whisper,
You bare these lies to cleanse your system,
You bare these lies despite the symptoms,
I make the demands, (whoah)
I make the demands,
Starving artist you will, I said it before,
Shed your burdens and build on
We wont give up, we wont give up now,
We wont give up, we wont give up now,
We wont give up, we wont give up now,
We wont give up, we wont give up now,
We wont give up, we wont give up now,
We wont give up, we wont give up, we wont give up, we wont give up now.
