Part of me won’t go away Everyday reminded how much I hate it Weighted the consequences Can’t live without it so it’s senseless Wanna cut it out of my soul just live with a gaping hole Take control of my life And wash out all the burnt taste I made the problems in the first place Hang my head low ‘cause it’s part of me Ya hardly see right next to the heart of me Heard of me the routine scar New cuts cover where the old are And now I’m sick of this I can’t stand the sandpaper thoughts that grade on my sanity I rather not even be then the man that’s staring in the mirror through me
[Pre chorus] Cut myself free willingly just what’s killing me [x4]
I feel it everyday I feel I made my way I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside Swallowing me
Freedom be frightening if you've never felt it Once it’s been dealt with you feel like you’ve been touched by something angelic And melted down into a pool of peace Cease to be the animal you used to be Remove the broken parts you know were wrong And feel the karma when the problem’s all gone And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can’t let be Memories of the last fight free yourself Take it to the depths the bottom of the well And now you know you can choose to lose the part in your heart Where your insides bruised You can live if you’re willing to Put a stop to just what’s killing you
[Pre x4]
[Chorus]
(Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away silently This part of me won’t go away, part of me won’t go away Everywhere I look around I see how everyone aught to be Every time I see myself I see there’s something wrong with me)
[Chorus x2] I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me [x2]
