ok, first off, it is kinda obvious that some of you up there don't hang out with the Emo's... at all. (I mean like, almost all of my friends have at some point either cut, burn, carve, brand, pop pills, etc.) Secondly, "the emptiness of broken flesh" isn't exactly saying it's stupid, given it could be... cutting and burning are a lot less harmful than suicide, and personally i would rather a person be a lifetime cutter than suicidal. But anyway, back to the "emptiness of broken flesh" it kind of in a way describes your feeling.. it's hard to explain, but as your 'breaking' your own skin you kind of feel happy that your doing it, sad that you stoop to it, angry at the what people have done, high because you got your fix, empowered that no one can stop you, and as you do it all those feelings kind of fade into just simple peace. Emptiness. They all go away, everything goes away at that time.
So I think during the song, he is explaining that he does truly know what we are going threw and then in the chorus says that there is hope. Which is really good because with me and my friends, it you leave out the part where you explain how you know what we're feeling, we cut you off right then and there.
