I'm trying to find any song that, well, basically refers to self harm or is about self harm completely. Doesn't have to be "emo" or whatever, just cool songs, preferably rock like. Thanks

my chemical romance- headfirst for halos
Well let's go back to the middle of the day that starts it all
I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling
And now the red ones make me fly
And the blue ones help me fall
And I think I'll blow my brains against the ceiling
And as the fragments of my skull begin to fall
Fall on your tongue like pixie dust just think happy thoughts
[Chorus]
And we'll fly home
We'll fly home
You and I
We'll fly home
Well now I'm back in the middle of the day that starts it all.
Well I can't begin to let you know just what I'm feeling.
And now these red ones make me fly,
And the blue ones help me fall.
And I think I'll blow my brain against the ceiling.
And we'll fly home,
We'll fly home,
You and I,
We'll fly home.
Now honestly that's what I said to her, what I said to her
Think happy thoughts.
moral don't do it [if you feel suicidal think happy thoughts]

If you're looking for something current, Switchfoot's new album Oh! Gravity has great lyrics. Anything on there. If you're looking for some classic older songs with great lyrics, you can't go wrong with these:
American Pie, by Don McClean
The Gambler, by Kenny Rogers <
Phil Collins' best friend was drowning, and Phil Collins didn't know how to swim at the time. There was a guy standing there with Phil Collins, so Phil told him to go in after his friend, and he didn't. His best friend died. So Phil wrote this song and found at where the guy (who didn't save him) lived. He did a free show in the town and made sure the guy would be there. He performed that song for the first time there, and humiliated him in front of everyone.

Hi. I don't know what self-harm means exactly, the way you put it in your question. But if you were looking for a song with a lot of angst and a very smart lyrics, with a hard rock melody to boot, try checking out Cats in the Cradle by ugly joe kid. it's well written, full of angst, and hey, it leaves you feeling sorry for the guy. You can download it and listen. And oh yes, if you are looking for the ultimate, sado-masochistic music hereabouts, the suicide anthem Alone again Naturally just might suit your taste. Its catchy tune makes for an absolute irony.

Why I Choose To Never Grow by Devics
does he know all my woe's
he watches from above
in his time a sickly mind
and sick I understand
took the car and closed the door
turned on the heat
and with a bullet in his hand
good bye baby...
Plumb-Cut
...But I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I found it when
I was cut
paraphrasing:
Cruel and Jealous Death by Kissing Tigers. The exhusband grabs his hunting knife and sheds his own blood
Beachy Head by Kissing Tigers about a death pack, she dies he lives
Past No Concerns by Barzin, a girlfriend takes off her shirt and exposes her scars on her arms.

why do you refer to lyrics w/ self-harm as 'cool'? but w/e, its the question, so...
Headfirst for Halos by My Chemical Romance-"i think ill blow my brains against the ceiling"
Nurse!Nurse!(Im Losing my Patients) by Sparks the Rescue -"and autumn's sliding up my sleeves"
Ohio is for Lovers by Hawthorne Heights -"so cut my wrists and black my eyes so i can fall asleep tonight"
Not Good Enough for Truth in Cliche by Escape the Fate-"sitting in this room playing russian roulette"
Papercut Skin by The matches-"this papercut skin that makes me wince with each hand im required to shake"
thats it i guess. i hope this is just for reference, and youre not actually cutting yourself. there are better ways to express emotion!!!
