Explode (Part of me demo)
[1st Verse:]
Part of me won't go away.
Every day reminded how much I hate it,
weighted against the consequences.
Can't live it without it, so it's senseless.
Wanna cut out of my soul
and 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 a part of me.
You'll hardly see, right next to the heart of me
hurting me the routine scar.
New cuts cover where the old ones are.
So tired of making the same mistakes
again and again.
The suffering just won't end
and I can't let myself be
the man that's staring in the mirror through me.
[Pre-Chorus:]
CUT MYSELF FREE !
(Willingly stop just what's killing me.)
CUT MYSELF FREE !
(Willingly stop just what's killing me.)
CUT MYSELF FREE !
(Willingly stop just what's killing me.)
CUT MYSELF FREE !
(Willingly stop just what's killing me.)
[Chorus:]
I feel it every day,
I feel I'm in my way.
I feel it swell up inside,
swell up inside, swallowing me.
[2nd Verse:]
(Freedom can 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 then, melt it 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 calm when the problem's all gone.
And then you'll start to see
another piece of yourself that you can't let be.
Memories of the last fight to free yourself
take you to the depths at the bottom of the well.
And then, you know that you can choose to lose
the part of your heart where your inside's bruised.
You can live if you're willing to
put a stop to just what's killing you.
[Pre-Chorus:]
CUT MYSELF FREE !
(Willingly stop just what's killing me.)
CUT MYSELF FREE !
(Willingly stop just what's killing me.)
CUT MYSELF FREE !
(Willingly stop just what's killing me.)
CUT MYSELF FREE !
(Willingly stop just what's killing me.)
[Chorus:]
I feel it every day,
I feel I'm in my way.
I feel it swell up inside,
swell up inside, swallowing me.
[Bridge:]
Alive in me, inside of me,
a part turns grey and rocks away silently.
Alive in me, inside of me,
a part turns grey and rocks away silently.
(This part of me won't go away.)
Alive in me, inside of me,
a part turns grey and rocks away silently.
(Part of me won't go away.)
Alive in me, inside of me,
a part turns grey and rocks away silently.
I feel it every day,
I feel I'm in my way.
I feel it swell up inside,
swell up inside, swallowing me.
[Chorus:]
I feel it every day,
I feel I'm in my way.
I feel it swell up inside,
swell up inside, swallowing me.
I feel it every day,
I feel I'm in my way.
I feel it swell up inside,
swell up inside, swallowing me.
[Outro:]
I feel it swell up inside,
swell up inside, swallowing me.
I feel it swell up inside,
swell up inside, swallowing me.
