Self Inflicted Lyrics
[Intro]
I just don't understand what's happening to me
[Verse 1]
I slice the throat
Of everything I adore
Everything I adore
I cry for war
Then throw myself on the sword
Throw myself on the sword

Self Inflicted
[Intro]
I just don't understand what's happening to me
[Verse 1]
I slice the throat
Of everything I adore
Everything I adore
I cry for war
Then throw myself on the sword
Throw myself on the sword
[Pre-Chorus]
No need for scorn
Nor plague or storm
I've seen the source
Of my pain, my woe
[Chorus]
Yeah, I do it to myself
I do it to myself
Yeah, I do it to myself
In the shadows I hide
Where the devils reside
In the shadows I hide
Where the devils reside
[Verse 2]
I salt the soil
And wonder why nothing grows
And wonder why nothing grows
My heart is spoiled
I'm rotten right to the core
I'm rotten right to the core
[Pre-Chorus]
No need for scorn (It's all your fault)
Nor plague or storm (You cannot stop)
I've seen the source (Self-sabotage)
Of my pain, my woe
[Pre-Chorus]
No need for scorn
Nor plague or storm
I've seen the source
Of my pain, my woe
[Chorus]
Yeah, I do it to myself
I do it to myself
Yeah, I do it to myself
In the shadows I hide
Where the devils reside
In the shadows I hide
Where the devils reside
[Verse 2]
I salt the soil
And wonder why nothing grows
And wonder why nothing grows
My heart is spoiled
I'm rotten right to the core
I'm rotten right to the core
[Pre-Chorus]
No need for scorn (It's all your fault)
Nor plague or storm (You cannot stop)
I've seen the source (Self-sabotage)
Of my pain, my woe
[Chorus]
Yeah, I do it to myself
Yeah, I do it to myself
In the shadows I hide
Where the devils reside
In the shadows I hide
Yeah, I do it to myself (Where the devils reside)
[Interlude]
Life has no meaning anymore
[Bridge]
I tie the noose from which I sway
Snuff out the light that lights the way
I break the bones that brace my weight
Why do I choose this path of pain?
For petty pride and sympathy?
I've gotta kill this side of me
[Outro]
To myself
To myself
To myself
To myself
To myself (In the shadows I hide)
To myself (Where the devils reside)
To myself (In the shadows I hide)
To myself (Where the devils reside)
I just don't understand what's happening to me
I slice the throat
Of everything I adore
Everything I adore
I cry for war
Then throw myself on the sword
