Physical Pain, Emotional Gain

That's the way, I'll cut it there,
And see how much it bleeds.
People ask, why do you cut?
If your not going to do the deed.

But I know the frustration,
I understand the need.
There's people out there just like me,
Who have a pain to feed.

You can only satisfy pain with pain,
That's just a fact of life.
We don't know why we feel such relief,
From cutting with a knife.

So I'll let it bleed, I'll watch it bleed,
It's my blood to be shed.
This pain is my obsession,
A result of the life I've led.
