Dan Bull - I Hurt Myself

My name's Daniel, I'm 28 and I'm a self harmer
What I'm telling you is real, not just another way to sell drama
Not doing this for karma
Tear and throwin' off my armour
There, I'm showin' off my scars, I barer, I hope I've not alarmed ya

The way I retaliate to aggravation and stress
Is to smack myself in the face, though my sad face is a mess
Scream my fucking lungs out, gasp, takin' a breathe

Hit the right pitch
The sound of glass breaking is bliss

But I can't smash the mirror, I'm afraid of broken glass
So I punch the face I see in it, my bones make an open gash
I need a healing potion fast
Throw me in the ocean, splash

The life boat
Is capsized with no hope

And, no man's an island
My contraband is anger, violence
Lower the flag, no aggro please, I demand silence

Skull and Crossbones
Swollen cheek bones
Pull the trigger, reload
Pull the trigger, reload!

See me overdose on friendly fire
No hope, til I tote a broken nose, and I can then retire

Look what you made me do (x4)

I feel ashamed of what I did, now I return to clarity
Even though I only hit myself, still it hurt my family

All the things I hate about myself, they may be true or not

It doesn't matter when my face is battered blue and black with bruises
Don't know what abuse is
Why I do this

I'm a loser!

A fucking four eyed freckled face
Fucking waste of space!

I've had it!

I deserve to be damaged
It's a hurt I can manage
I can take physical pain, it's the words that are savage
My nerves are just ravage
A small disturbance
Is all but certain
To cause turbulence
And of course they urge me to panic

I'm scared of blood, but never backed down from a brawl
Stand up for myself, never sat down on the wall
I'll go toe to toe until I'm passed out on the floor
One of us is going to hospital, that's how much I'm raw

Look what you made me do (x12)
