Self Pity

Verse 1:
Self-pity’s like a blanket in the winter
Self-pity’s like my favorite T-shirt
Self-pity’s got a whole lot of hunger
And self-pity tells me I’m an amateur

Verse 2:
Self pity’s like a weight tied around my neck
Self-pity likes the pain, traps me in a net
Self-pity’s just a game that I need to quit
And self-pity’s not shy to say I’m useless

Pre-chorus:
I wanna leave my mind
Same broken gears just wind
Around, they hold me down
I can’t get passed I’m trapped in my own prison
And I’m no good at lying
That same broken, empty smile
Is on, it keeps me calm
I hate the way I hate myself, it’s vicious

Chorus:
I speak about her like she isn’t me
Like we’re not the same mind the same body
Why am I so tired, I could just use the key
But it feels a lot better when the door’s locked

Verse 3:
Self-pity’s a seductive kind of danger
I don’t wanna go I can stay forever
Steaming in my own misery as comfort
Shedding tears as a strange sort of pleasure

Verse 4:
Self pity can destroy me in a minute
I can’t see all the good things about living
The stress is getting to my head no question
But I should probably do something about it

Pre-chorus:
I wanna leave my mind
Same broken gears just wind
Around, they hold me down
I can’t get passed I’m trapped in my own prison
And I’m no good at lying
That Same broken, empty smile
Is on, it keeps me calm
I hate the way I hate myself, it’s vicious

Chorus:
I speak about her like she isn’t me
Like we’re not the same mind the same body
Why am I so tired I could just use the key
But it feels a lot better when the door’s locked
Keep the door locked
Gotta keep the door locked
I tie my own knots
Gotta keep the rope tot
Self-pity looking pretty
In her cozy frock
But I’m starting to feel sick from the way she talks

Bridge:
I’m tired of fighting
These voices won’t give in
And I’ve got bad timing
Cause I need motivation
I’m tired of trying
No luck with deciphering
The truth from the lies in
My self -pity convention

Chorus:
I speak about her like she isn’t me
Like we’re not the same mind the same body
Why am I so tired I could just use the key
But it feels a lot better with the door locked
Keep the door locked
Gotta keep the door locked
I tie my own knots
Gotta keep the rope tot
Self-pity looking pretty
In her cozy frock
But I’m starting to feel sick from the way she talks
Oh-oh
The way she talks
Oh-oh
The way she talks
