lyrics

I can’t sleep without taking a pill
And can’t cope with the stress of it
And I talk a big game when it comes to
Survival mode and things
And I keep a history of pain and of my solitude
And I list a bunch of things so I don’t lose my mind

But I don’t trust myself
And you have had it with me

I can’t get with the songs that I write
And can’t bend ‘til my back would break
And I place you on a pedestal and
I kiss the ground at your feet
And I take the path of least resistance if it’s doable
And I smoke you out and leave you hungry for capacity

But I don’t trust myself
And you have had it with me

I guess I’ll go on
I guess I’ll combust
Without leaving such a mess
I guess I will show myself the door
And never return to this place

But I don’t trust myself
And you still put up with…
No, I don’t trust myself
And you still care about me
