All lyrics and music written by Magdy Abdel-Rehim

lyrics

I’ve cut myself so I can breath
Raised my arms up high so the wound is out of reach
Let the blood flow till I’m down on my knees
Pray to god and hope he’ll end my misery

I’ve kept the blade and wiped it clean
Held it to the sky screaming what’s become of me
Now the wound is slowly killing me
Maybe now this time the blade has set me free

I need someone to blame
I’ve put myself to shame again

I’ve drained myself
Now all the blood’s run dry inside
I’ll take my life
And leave this all behind

Now the scars are haunting me
If I bleed again will it put my mind at ease
Hatred has become the death of me
Maybe it’s your god who’s lost all faith in me

I think I’ve gone insane
I’ve put myself to shame again

I’ve drained myself
Now all the blood’s run dry inside
I’ll take my life
And leave this all behind tonight

I think I’ve gone insane
This is a deadly game to play

I’ve drained myself
Now all the blood’s run dry inside
I’ll take my life
And leave this all behind tonight
I’ve drained myself
From all the tears I’ve cried and cried
I’ll end my life and leave you all behind
And free myself for I have lost all hope in life
