Fighting Myself

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On the run since before ever after Standard family disaster Lovers, brothers, other bastards Told me where to go [Verse 2] I shook my lumps, then took off running Short on wisdom, wits, or cunning One for all, but all for nothing Into the unknown [Pre-Chorus] There's no point to waste the blame I've never been strictly speaking sane I should have known fresh dirt won't wash old stains away [Verse 3] I tried to drown your memory It learned to swim and clung to me Kissed my cheek sadistically And dragged me down below [Pre-Chorus] There's no point to waste the blame I've never been strictly speaking sane I should have known fresh dirt won't wash old stains away [Chorus 1] I was so angry then In psychic self-defense Wasting energy fighting something I couldn't see Just fighting myself [Verse 3] I know time unfolds and then it tangles Strings attached and feelings mangled Some threads are severed, some still dangle Some just drift away [Pre-Chorus] There's no point to waste the blame I've never been strictly speaking sane I should have known fresh dirt won't wash old stains away [Chorus 2] The last thing I tried to do was end up hurting you I found my enemy staring back from the mirror at me I've been fightin' myself Fightin' myself [Outro] There's nobody in the ring but me I broke some things I know just can't be fixed While I fought for what I wanted more than anything You stuck around for kicks
