This song of the week has a very personal meaning to me. It is very deep, and it is a huge risk for me to put this out there. This week's song is called "Cut" by Plumb. It's about self-injury, particularly cutting and the emotions/thoughts behind it. I can really relate to this song...I hate to admit that...but self-injury is something I have struggled with for the past few years. I will share more details about it in another post...for now I will just share this song.



Song: Cut
Artist: Plumb
Album: Chaotic Resolve


I'm not a stranger
No I am yours
With crippled anger
And tears that still drip sore

A fragile frame aged
With 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
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
