about

Talking about my own mental health here: I tend rip myself apart over mistakes and things i haven't done, swinging between the thoughts like i will never be as good as i could be to i'm the best on this, wearing my problems rather than fix them. This song is about admitting those habits and problems before i can correct them.

lyrics

Here I go again I'm using self deprecating humour,
I'll just use my flaws as armour so I can protect my self!

I got a problem, no ones noticed yet
But I'm still picking apart the things that I regret,
I need a way out, before I suffocate,
Before I pull the pin and gladly seal my fate,

Cause I love myself, I hate myself, I need to get a grip
I love myself, I hate myself, I know I'm full of shit,
But it don't seem to matter much, Ill hurt myself ill patch it up
Rinse and repeat the process, I hope one day ill heal,

Cannot get away, That's what you always say,
Know ill never win, So give up and give in,
I'm just not good enough, why can't you just shut up,
I think I'm at the end, oh here we go again,

Here I go again I'm using self deprecating humour,
I'll just use my flaws as armour so I can protect my self!

I'm so sick of my self fascination,
I can't find love in my occupation,
Can't get rid of this procrastination,
Ill never be the person I want to be,
He's on the posters and the magazines,
He respectable and still obscene,
He's image sold to the teens,
But he's not a human being,

Stop me if you've heard this one before,
but you just can't seem to get yourself off the flaw,
Mistakes that you've made a hook up in your brain you just can't get away,
See I thought about it time to time,
Pushed it down or to the side,
it eats away at my insides,
Eventually to blow my mind,
I starting think ill never win,
I'm stuck in my repeats again,
I wish could just find a way to STOP,

STOP STOP STOP STOP,
