lyrics

Try to take away the pain.
Watch it circle the drain.
cut and bleed
Nothing gained.

Friendship lost today.
Considered the only way.
cut and bleed
The price you pay.

Pressure overwhelms you.
Unlikely victims too.
cut and bleed.
It is what you do.

Soothing relaxation, growing - nears,
Shut the world out, releasing the pain.
You cry for help, but no one hears.
The blood dripping down like rain.

Denying what you see within mirrors.
The hurt seeps out, from under the skin.
Too many times, too many years.
A struggle you can't surely win.

You're on thin ice.
Nothing is so nice.
cut and bleed
You throw the dice.

Depression sets in.
Slice the skin.
cut and bleed
You don't win.

Over and over, it extends.
A loss of friends.
cut and bleed
It is the end.

Ending your life, you have no fears.
You hide in the shadows - windows shut.
Bleeding unstopped - flowing like tears.
Too deep this time, too much.

Flesh for flesh, a taste of death
Reach for the back row - in haste
Scars from before are hidden,
Cut and paste. Cut and paste.

about

Strength Through Strife Idaho Falls, Idaho

Out of the Ashes of Dark Annie and Strength Through Strife formed one of the best bands that was far too short-lived. Masada was breaking ground where/when the local scene was crushing in on itself.
