Self Inflicted by Smile Empty Soul is a good one on the subject. I have many more but this one is particularly strong.
Be sure to post a link to your SI video when its complete and if you want some other song ideas drop me a PM or something! =D
It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you may even fool some of the people all of the time; but you cant fool all of the people all of the time - Abraham Lincoln
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think - La Bruyere
Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind then on outward circumstances - Benjamin Franklin
Especially the lyrics Please don't let this turn into something it's not
I can only give you everything I've got
I can't be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could
All that I keep thinking throughout this whole flight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
This splintered mast I'm holding on won't save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong
We have got through so much worse than this before
What's so different this time that you can't ignore
And I don't know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness
They hit me pretty hard really, just because I feel like I'm holding on by a thread sometimes to please other people, and I feel my self harm is something that makes me carry on, and although it hurts other people too, it's hard to just keep on without it. I also kind of want somebody to just reach out, y'know? and I find it incredibly hard to ask for help and not pretend I'm okay, even when it's obvious, and that's why I like the end lyrics.
It's not about SH, but it just always makes me think of my family and stuff. *Nods*
Also good luck with the video! =]

"The body faught to survive, it evacuated toxins in any way it knew how. It made clots to stop the bleeding.Bones would find the quickest ways to heal themselves. It made scar tissue. In the face of violence towards it, it would become violent. It was amazing, yet excruciating. "

More of a sad that turns into happy? not sure how to explain it lol. But i <3 this song! and all the ones that have already been said! =)
The classic that turns up these threads, Nine Inch Nails' Hurt:
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of ****
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here
What have I become?
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end
You could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
Johnny Cash's version of the same song is also very emotive.
And for me, Faith No More's Helpless really strikes a chord: The air is warm
I hear the wind and the trees
I know I'm there, but I'll never be
The wind is soft tonight, the tide is low
And I know the way
(I never felt better now)
Sometimes life, it moves too slow
Slows to a crawl, and then the poetry is lost
And without speed, hope becomes certainty
And for once I'm certain
(I never felt better now)
A garden is it's own perfect world
Where everything has a place
Every leaf, every stone, every speck of dirt
But where's my place?
I even tried to get arrested today
But everyone looked the other way
I count the hours, and I count the days
But for once I'm certain
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Helpless
You found a way to make me say
Help me please someone
The water's clear
I see that it's full of dimes
For every wish, I wonder why
Why all I want is something beautiful
A place to rest
(I never felt better now)
Sorry for the double post, I've just remembered another song that speaks volumes to me, A Life All Mine by The Gathering: Razor sharp I cut
The bull from my life
Too blunt your knife
To slay this dreamer
We might be dogs astray
No running line will hold us
So rather kick and kill me
I'll be butchered all the same
No words are spoken
But the world is broken
'Cause I want something
Something all wrong done
A life instead of mere living
Folding crumbling withering oh hell
What difference when working the way
The crown of my work
Is what I shall gain
At the end of my days
Daylight awake to a puppet world
No strings attach to this body of mine
Folding crumbling withering oh well
The punished pushed along the line
All my actions, all my moves
A life all mine to lose
The crown of my work
A life all mine to lose
A life all mine
Is what I choose
At the end of my days
breathe me by sia

Welcome to my Life, No Love, How could this happen to me - by Simple Plan
I know some more if you need them.
Why try to help, when it will never work?
It's hard to tell the truth, but it's easy to lie.
Don't know how much longer this will last..hopefully not long.
