As It Is - Can't Save Myself
I can't help the way my mind
is hardwired to hate myself
'Cause I swear that this is hell
The way I desperately
try to save myself
'Cause I can't save myself
A single breath
in empty lungs
That's all I got left
gasping for air
And a bad idea branded
in my brain
I can't seem to shake
I can't seem to shake
Another day
in tired skin
I shed and fray
far from desire
Till all I am is textbook misery
and my own mistakes
my own mistakes
And as I've aged the only thing
I think has changed
Is that the demons
have moved from under my bed
Into the inner depths of my head
I can't escape the ugly things
my mind creates
I speculate that they'll stay
with my till the grave
I can't help the way my mind
is hardwired to hate myself
'Cause I swear
that this is hell
The way I desperately
try to save myself
'Cause I can't save myself
Can't save myself
In broken bones
a half-hearted smile
I feel at home
I'm proud of nothing
I tend to get attached so quick
to all I've ever known
all I've ever known
But I don't seem
to know a single fucking thing
that can save me
I'm my own worst enemy
Is there any hope for me
I can't help the way
my mind is hardwired to hate myself
'Cause I swear that this is hell
The way I desperately try
to save myself
'Cause I can't save myself
I'm the boy who chose not
to grow up and now
I'm unprepared for anything
Now I'm scared
and I'm cold and alone
because the world grew up without me
I'm the boy who chose not
to grow up and now
I'm unprepared for anything
Now I'm scared
and I'm cold and alone
because the world grew up without me
I'm the boy who chose not
to grow up
and now I'm unprepared for anything
Is there any hope for me
Now I'm scared and I'm cold
and alone because the world
grew up without me
Is there any hope for me
I can't help the way my mind
is hardwired to hate myself
Is there any hope for me
'Cause I swear that this is hell
The way I desperately
try to save myself
'Cause I can't save myself
