Self Sabotage Lyrics

When you say

"Your words mean nothing to me,

You never knew me,

Your advice has no value to me"

Are you just looking for the perfect release,

To put a hardened mind at ease?

When violent visions affect your decisions

Are there demons you seek to appease?

Life has served you with so many lessons

Never managed to learn much

Mental fabric falls apart at the seams

A body of work torn limb from limb

Held together by vindictive dreams

And then you say you weren't raised to bask in praise

A simple kind word could hurt you in so many ways

Life has served you with so many lessons

Never managed to learn much

A stubborn ruler of a land of solitude

The reigning king of self sabotage

Mental fabric falls apart at the seams

A body of work torn limb from limb

Held together by vindictive dreams

Your triumphs and your trophies are the shards and the ruins

Of fantasies of slowing life down to a steady pace

You keep rejecting comfort, reinstating chaos in its place

Mental fabric falls apart at the seams

A body of work torn limb from limb

Held together by vindictive dreams

You calculate the stakes

Stage the collision

Take your foot off the brake
