[Buchanan]

This has been tuggin at me. So many people who I know and care about think cuttin makes the pain go away. I heard Whitlie say somethin about a song she wrote about it a while back, so I thought that sounded like a good way to let it out. Tell me what you think.

Let It All Come Out

(Verse 1)
Do you see these scars on my arms,
Did you notice the pain in my heart?
It's even spreadin to lil kids on farms
Everyone thinks that if they bleed pain won't start.

I used to think it was true,
I thought of bleedin as a release from the hurt.
Pay attention, notice I said I USED to,
It's cuz she opened my eyes to the dirt.

(Prechorus)
Why do they try to put it away,
and pretend real life doesn't sting?
And so I'm standin here today,
And I'm thinkin of all the pain it brings.

(Chorus)
But you gotta let it all come out,
If you look to a blade it makes it worse.
Let them know what you're all about,
Don't mess up and end up in a herse.

I remember how she told me her secret pain,
Sorrow swoll up from deep in my heart.
Now she knows life's not just a game,
All our days are numbered from the start.

(Verse 2)
So many people wanna cut now,
I can't get why they think it helps.
But I can't judge when I remember how,
I was there and I should just try and help.

Why did any of us think it was true,
It's just another trick of the devil.
I'm so glad her words got through,
And made me see the wounds were evil.

(Prechorus)
Why do they try to put it away,
and pretend real life doesn't sting?
And so I'm standin here today,
And I'm thinkin of all the pain it brings.

(Chorus)
But you gotta let it all come out,
If you look to a blade it makes it worse.
Let them know what you're all about,
Don't mess up and end up in a herse.

(Verse 3)
I'm tellin ya, take your problems to God,
He knows how to lift the burden.
Don't take your frustration out on your bod,
Pray to Him and He'll stop all your secret hurtin.

Do you know this won't make the pain stop?
Most of the time it's tryin to let out emotions,
But to you really think pain makes pain lose its pop?
If you do, get rid of the devil's notions.

(Prechorus)
Why do they try to put it away,
and pretend real life doesn't sting?
And so I'm standin here today,
And I'm thinkin of all the pain it brings.

(Chorus)
But you gotta let it all come out,
If you look to a blade it makes it worse.
Let them know what you're all about,
Don't mess up and end up in a herse.

[Buchanan]

hey. sorry bout that, I messed up on the chorus.

(Prechorus)
Why do they try to put it away,
and pretend real life doesn't sting?
And so I'm standin here today,
And I'm thinkin of all the pain it brings.

(Chorus)

But you gotta let it all come out,
If you look to a blade it makes it worse.
Let them know what you're all about,
Don't mess up and end up in a herse.

Sorrow swoll up from deep in my heart.
Now she knows life's not just a game,
All our days are numbered from the start.

Hi David,

That's a really tough subject to hit, but it's something that can't be denied either. I think you send a strong message (the tune will help too to emphasize it) to look somewhere else to face and ease their pain. I know I have 2 teenagers and as parents we worry about their emotional well being.

Good for you for tackling this subject. Hopefully, you will get your message out. Again, we'll wait to hear the tune and I'm sure you can then tweak it here and there. Overall, it looks good for the first write.

Hey Nutty,

Thanks. I heard about this one girl at school who was cuttin and how she actually passed out with no one else home. She wasn't tryin to kill herself, just to ease the pain, but she almost did.

Here it is. I don't know much about writin the music for metal, so if anyone would be willing to help it would be appreciated.
