You need to stop treating yourself like this Eating yourself like this Gnawing at muscle and bone Just to feel at home You need to stop treating yourself like this Cheating yourself like this Quitting before the game begins Just to wallow in your sins You need to stop treating yourself like this Beating yourself like this Smashing your head into walls Just to silence the noise of it all You need to stop treating yourself like this. Defeating yourself like this Betting on a losing dog Just to hide in the fog You need to stop treating yourself like this Deleting yourself like this Editing your words before you speak Just to hide the feelings underneath You need to stop treating yourself like this Repeating yourself like this Echoing past excuses and mistakes Just to avoid the time healing takes You need to stop treating yourself like this Completing yourself like this Assuming this is how your story ends Just to never make amends You cause your own downfall You make yourself doubtful But you can change your tune Let the light in and bloom
