A song I heard recently that reminded me of what pickers go through...

This would probably apply to other conditions as well but it hit right at home for me. Icon for Hire: Iodine I say I wanna be healthy, but I turn up the noise The IV drips a steady stream of poison I think I'm just in love with the feeling Break my bones so I can feel them healing "Crazy" is, I believe, the medical term When we wanna recover, but we don't wanna learn Keep breaking what's been fixed a thousand times And gimme some more of that iodine I can't make reality connect I push till I have nothing left But if we want to wake up, Why we still singin' these lullabys? I'll run in circles till I crash One day these steps will be my last But if we want to wake up, Why we still singin' these lullabys? I say I wanna be happy, but I quickly forget Will I sabotage all the good I've got left? Depression's like a big fur coat, It's made of dead things but it keeps me warm "Crazy" is, I believe, the medical term When we wanna recover, but we don't wanna learn Keep breaking what's been fixed a thousand times And gimme some more of that iodine I can't make reality connect I push till I have nothing left But if we want to wake up, Why we still singin' these lullabys? I'll run in circles till I crash One day these steps will be my last But if we want to wake up, Why we still singin' these lullabys? I don't like pain, but I bring it to life I don't like scars but I am good with a knife I don't like tears when I'm starting to cry And then I realize I'm destroying my life I do this to myself I do this to myself Stop blaming someone else We do this to ourselves I can't make reality connect I push till I have nothing left But if we want to wake up, Why we still singin' these lullabys? I'll run in circles till I crash One day these steps will be my last But if we want to wake up, Why we still singin' these lullabys? So if we want to wake up, Why we still singin' these, why we still singin' these lullabys?

My favorite song that I can relate to is. Johnny Cash: I hurt myself today... also Nine inch nails has a good cover of the song :) Thanks for the song.

I'm sorry if I'm coming off as a jerk. I just had to let you know "Hurt" is a NIN song. Johnny Cash did the cover, which is excellent, maybe even better, but NIN did write it and perform it originally.
