Lyrics
Are you the one inside the house up on the hill Counting cars and taking pills to escape Inside your room you have a hundred TV screens All the people that you meet look the same You're not alone and it's alright You don't need to hurt yourself to feel alive Don't you run and don't you hide You were a teenage punching bag in another life There's nothing left to lose Nothing left to prove tonight You hold your breath until the demons run away And it hurts like hell to have to wait Outside your house the world is bursting at the seams But you hold onto your dreams in case You're not alone and it's alright You don't need to hurt yourself to feel alive Don't you run and don't you hide You were a teenage punching bag in another life There's nothing left to lose Nothing left to prove tonight Nothing left to prove Nothing left to lose tonight But it hurts like hell, it hurts like hell to have to wait It hurts like hell, it hurts like hell to have to wait You're not alone and it's alright You don't need to hurt yourself to feel alive Don't you run and don't you hide You were a teenage punching bag in another life There's nothing left to lose Nothing left to prove tonight There's nothing left to lose Nothing left to prove tonight Don't hurt yourself, don't hurt yourself tonight Don't hurt yourself, don't hurt yourself tonight

Song Notes
In Honor of Bell Lets Talk day and ending stigma surrounding mental health we’re releasing “Hurt Yourself” in our Vault Sessions.

Hurt Yourself was left off of Healthy in Paranoid Times and today I feel the reasoning is clear. The song deals with the frustration and challenges that so many of us deal with in
daily life.

Hopefully this song can provide a glimmer of faith and optimism that tomorrow will be a better day and as a society we can begin to understand that mental health should be regarded no differently than when someone is sick with any other disease.

Sincerely,
Raine
