Unworthy

this pain is yours to give
i'm one of many you give it to
sink your knives under the flesh
hold me close so you can reach
when you need to hurt someone
when you need to let it out

but this doesn't hurt no more
i thought i couldn't hurt no more
you always promised me some more
now i'm not taking this, taking this

i know i chose to live this way
wearing all the scars you give
now i'll pick this scab just so i can bleed
a trail of stains a crown of thorns
i gave myself when no one else would
but i've finally asked myself why

why this doesn't hurt no more
i thought i couldn't hurt no more
you always promised me some more
now i'm not taking this, taking this

i won't sacrifice again
there's no pleasure here to gain
no reward for accepting all your pain
i'll be gone you won't know when
i'm already gone but never said
never told you this was dead

but this doesn't hurt no more
i thought i couldn't hurt no more
you always promised me some more
now i'm not taking this, taking this
not taking this no more.
