Temper

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Tracing the lines on my hand Repair the holes in my vision Are these misfires in my head? The human condition Been wading in standing water Likely exposed for too long My body is unresponsive My god, just tell me what's wrong Don't know if this state is a threat Can't fight with no wall on my back Where's all of the flashing lights Helping me stay on track? Follow the heart, follow the head Both screaming out, "pick me instead" Wish I could put this to bed [Pre-Chorus] Lately I'm leaving Half empty handed My company is telling me that we've disbanded Can't say I blame 'em I've been an asshole I'd try to salvage it, but it's not worth the hassle [Chorus] Stuck in idle Can't start my engine Slowly accepting I can't hold my own attention It might be too late To save the embers I killed the passion when I tried to kill the temper [Verse 2] A civilized moment to think Try not to spend it alone Do anything in my power To keep me off my phone These 28 years have taught me Secrets about myself No longer can justify throwing away my health I am repeat behavior Slave to my tendencies Waiting on system failure To put me on my knees This foregone conclusion It's too predictable One of these days will be fatal [Pre-Chorus] Lately I'm leaving Half empty handed My company is telling me that we've disbanded How can I blame them? I've been an asshole I'd try to salvage it, but it's not worth the hassle [Chorus] Stuck in idle Can't start my engine Slowly accepting I can't hold my own attention It might be too late To save the embers I killed the passion when tried to kill the temper [Outro] Leave while you have time Before I change my mind You should save yourself while you still have time Before I change my mind
