lyrics

Discovered half my hell I fabricate myself
Responsible for baggage i carry
Ironic to be tied constantly paralyzed
From all these endless options which vary

This nightmare needs to end for goodness sake
Cause every day just seems like such a waste
It’s time to spark a match on my cold feet
Cause the devil’s in the mirror and he’s me

Mercy mercy me I’m losing too much sleep
This firm anxiety it takes its toll
My biggest enemy’s myself not you or no one else
It’s up to me to break my shell not you or them

The days of being young infatuating; what’s to come
Resulted in a slap right to the face
A dagger to my eye an unpleasant surprise
To soak in the reality of ever changing pace

Mercy mercy me I’m losing too much sleep
This firm anxiety it takes its toll
My biggest enemy’s myself not you or no one else
It’s up to me to break my shell not you or them

Take a breath and breathe my reflection lies in my hands
It’s proven to be fact that faith inside is something I lack
