I Deserve to bleed


“I deserve to bleed”

I wanna rip out my intestines, throw them in the sea

I wanna cover myself head to toe in super sexy scars

'Cause I mean, aren't you supposed to burn if you're a star?

I want to be torn apart excruciatingly

I punish my body 'cause it's not good enough for me.

 

The thoughts that say that I deserve to bleed

I wanna take a knife and draw a line across my chest

I wanna slash across what used to be my face

I punish my body 'cause it's not good enough for me.

 

The scary thoughts are spreading like a weed

The thoughts that say that I deserve to bleed

They say that it gets better but I guess that was a lie

But it's harder when you have to love yourself

I want to be torn apart excruciatingly

I punish my body 'cause it's not good enough for me.
