  • It's funny how I can give the best advice, but I can't follow...
    So I tell myself…

    It's funny how I can push the pills, but I can't swallow...
    So I tell myself…

    “Run away”

    Blame is a coward, but self righteous
    A funny little creature hiding out in me
    Hate is power with a price tag
    A funny little creature screaming out in me

    "This might hurt a little…"

    It's funny how the stories that I tell myself
    Leave so many things out
    Do I believe myself
    Or someone else?

    It's funny how I know what's wrong
    About everything in everyone else
    When I don't know myself
    When I don't know myself

    “Run away”

    Blame is a coward, but self righteous
    A funny little creature hiding out in me
    Hate is power with a price tag
    A funny little creature screaming out in me

    "Listen to me"




    Fear is a liar but he’s been right before
    If you fight your shadow
    You’ll get lost in a war
    Ambition's a champ
    But he’s also a whore
    Drunk or sober
    He always wants more...
    I always want more…

    Lust is beauty in a bodybag
    A funny little bitch that’s screaming

    “Just use me”

    Blame is a coward, but self righteous
    A funny little creature screaming out in me

    "Let me go"

    He’s screaming out in me

    It’s gonna get worse before it gets better
    It’s gonna get worse before it gets better
    Bite down and trust me Writer/s: Ben Anderson, Clint Lowery, Daniel Oliver, Jonathan Hawkins, Mark Vollelunga, Will Hoffman
