Self Inflicted Mental Wound Lyrics

Putrid hatred
Self-inflicted wound
Slaying my solitary mood
My alibi is suicide

I succumb to dark desires
Of my flesh and wake
To reveal my pain
This life is not mine
It was stolen away by me

Take this darkness
And make me whole
Once again
Solitary confinement

Of one's own soul
Dark desires
Lurk around these
Visions of suicide
And self torture

Hanging myself
Before the altar
Of sacrifice
Help me
Suicide is sacrifice

Someone help me
Escape this suicide

Darkness lurks around me
Sulfur burns in front of me

Help us
Oh God help us
Somebody please help me
Help us
Somebody help us please
Anybody please
Can you hear my screams

Or is it just me
Who can hear my cries
Who can hear my withering
Blistering screams
Of despair
All around me
I plague my own mind
With suicide

Self-inflicted mental wound
Self-inflicted mental wound
Self-inflicted mental wound
Darkness has come tonight

To feed on my despair
My sorrow and my grief
My fear haunts me
Satan has caught me

Will I ever prevail
With this darkness
Surrounding me
This night
I'm surrounded
I'm so helpless
And utterly alone

Behold
There's a Savior
And his name is Jesus Christ
He says "Don't worry
I've got you covered and
I've heard each scream
Of pain that you have suffered
And I will give you strength
To live just a few days more
And more and more"

A constant cycle
Of constant worry
And of constant pain
But every time I am
Girded with your strength
To carry on just a few more days
