lyrics

there is only one of me
so it’s easy to sit quietly
instead of disappointing everyone
i just tame the monster inside of me

sedate her with a pill
so she can’t awake the dreaming
and i don’t have to feel
i never get close to her

hold my tongue until it bleeds
everyone else matters more
strangle my priorities
until i have no voice at all

i betray myself better than anyone else
is it obvious how i give the worst to myself?
don’t we all know how these things go down?
i guess it’s evident how i might drown

i forget to train myself
tone it down until i’m nicely
agreeing to what ever’s wanted of me
until i’m nearly

what everybody wants:
so damn agreeable
but the beast is waiting in the cracks
seeping out slowly

well, hold my tongue until it bleeds
everyone else matters more
strangle my priorities
until i have no voice at all

i betray myself better than anyone else
is it obvious how i give the worst to myself?
don’t we all know how these things go down?
i guess it’s evident how i might drown

i betray myself, betray myself
i betray myself, betray myself
i betray myself, betray myself

there is only one of me so it’s easy to sit quietly
instead of disappointing everyone
i just tame the monster inside of me
