Self sabotage, what a mess
I keep doing this to myself
How can reality just be
When I keep hurting myself?
I take leaps of faith
Only to make them come
Crashing down
I try to make it right
But reality only slips through
My hands
temptation takes over
And I drink again
What the **** am I doing?
I want a good life
But the darkness grabs a hold
And throws me for a loop
Into the depth of despair
I come crawling out
How much more grace
Will the Universe give me?
It seems I take it for granted
And just leave my tracks
In the dust
Yes, I was here
Now you have to clean
Up my mess
What the **** am I doing?
I can't seem to get ahead
Maybe it's the fact I think
I am separate from everyone
When actually we're all the same
Our heartbeat's by the same power
So it's very important not to sabotage
My life anymore
Rather take hold of this Power
And let reality just be
