written on the bathroom floor of a michigan hotel room. i hate myself.
lyrics
My fucking eyeballs burn.
Bloodshot like they hate me.
Bright red, like I hate me,
like I hate everybody.
I've been drowning in my own thoughts,
obsessing over petty shit,
not realizing what I've got;
and that's just the half of it.
Somehow not sleeping for hours
turned into not sleeping for days,
it's so fucked up how things
turn out when the best laid plans go astray.
I've been reading lots of books,
but somehow skipping every word,
and mostly everything I hear's
the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
And maybe I'm just fucked up,
is there something wrong with me?
Lost a little of myself
in my search for honesty.
I don't know who I am,
crisis of identity.
I look to the mirror for answers,
all that's staring back is me.
And I'm choking on my words tonight.
And I'm holding on with all my strength.
Regaining the will to fight.
'Cause for the first time in a long time,
I don't give a fuck tonight.
Defeat goes down bitter,
so mix it up with whiskey.
Sip on that shit for a while
and wait for realization to hit me.
Stumble out of my room,
crack my head open on the floor,
watch my thoughts slide out of my skull,
and overanalyze some more.
Like maybe I'm the one that fucked up,
maybe it's something I did?
Haven't felt right with myself
since I was a little kid.
A day without self-sabotage?
Oh, no, god forbid.
I don't have any answers,
as if I ever did...
And I'm choking on my words tonight.
And I'm holding on with all my strength.
Regaining the will to fight.
'Cause for the first time in a long time,
