I've tried to do this on my own Without the help of telephones The only place I need to be Is right here where I'm forced to see that I can fight against disease Or let it take me out to sea Either way I just might drown But I'd rather swim than hit the ground
I'm willing now to do what it takes to see That the boy looking back in the mirror isn't me
So take back your 12 step self help programs And let me tell you all about how It was self that got me here in the first place And self that taught me how to replace Everything I know with every other option But the only right way to go
Yeah I'm pretty sure that now it shows I could never see far past my nose And I'm almost positive these pills Are the only thing that ever made me ill so I'll make it through another week Despite the fact that I can't sleep The only problem I can see Is this is not who I'm meant to be and
I'm ready now to do what it takes to see That the boy looking back in the mirror isn't me
The only I have to hold to is a promise You put another life inside of me That's not my own
