It's fun to fight
Fight with myself
Fight my compulsions and wants

I want to abolish my responsibility
But I'm going to work today
I want to hydrate with brandy or whiskey
But I'm having water instead
I want to get all my nutrition from eating *****
But I'll cook a little meal for myself
I want to get addicted to ******
But I'll just read this book on it

I want to rip a hole in the sky
I want to shoot cans off my desk
I want to light fires
I want to scream at people
I want to shatter my mirrors
I want to rip the curtains down
I want to kick my TV, right off the stand
I want to throw my money down the garbage disposal
I want to laugh at the smouldering ruins
That used to be my life

But I'll just make myself some tea tonight
I'll just smile and look at my thoughts
And examine them from my nice warm car

I'll just laugh and remember to love my life
I'll think of my brother, I'll think of that knife
That I gave him for his birthday last year
And about how grateful he was
As he added it to his fishing gear

I'll think of my friends and I'll think
Of my Mom
And I'll know that everyone
Is struggling along

I'll find solace in knowing that fact
Because I'm not alone
And I'm certain of that.
