[Verse 1]
When I'm weary and so worn out
Ooh, when my mind's clouded and filled with doubt
That's when I feel the most alive
Masochistic kisses are how I thrive
(Thrive, thrive, thrive, thrive, thrive, thrive, thrive)
Hmm (Hmm)
[Verse 2]
A stiffness inside my neck, and
Bangin' my head against the desk (Woah)

That's when I feel, yeah, the most alive, woah
Endurance is the source of my pride (Source of my pride)
[Chorus]

What cuts me, cuts me, cuts me, cut me, cut me, cut me
[Verse 3]
Uh
Guess I'm a true immigrant son
No vacancies, no vacations
Sure, I could do better than this
But I don't (I don't), I won't (I don't), I don't
No, I don't
[Chorus]
Uh, might not be healthy for me but seemingly I need (No, mm)
Uh, what cuts me, cuts me, cuts me, cut me, cut me, cut me
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh-oh
(Might not be healthy for me but seemingly I need)
Ooh-ooh-oh
(What cuts me, cuts me, cuts me, cut me, cut me, cut me)
Hurt me, hurt me
Me
Hurt me, hurt me
