lyrics

My Own Best Friend:

I’m flipping tables
Smashing walls all up and down
Inside my own damn house
I’m petrified things have been taken away
You think it’s better
It isn’t better
Things don’t get better
Then things seem better at least just for awhile
Embrace myself and give a pat on the back
‘Cause I’m my own best friend
I know exactly what the hell I’ve been through
None of it is all that bad
Compared to people that have had to pray
Everyday for some food
And good health
But I’m still proud of myself
Yeah, I’m my own best friend
And I’ll be there for me even if the rest of the world casts me out

Vibrating walls
Pulsating floors
An empty couch
And it’s so loud upstairs
Could cut the tension in the air with a spoon
It’s a reason to explore these haunted halls and clear them all out
From the comfort of a bed

One over another hands blister and burn
Put on a thinking cap, get ready to learn
One step forward, two back
Get down on both knees and surrender
One over another hands blister and burn
Put on a thinking cap, get ready to learn
One step forward, two back
Get down on both knees and surrender

Embrace yourself and give a pat on the back
‘Cause you’re your own best friend
No matter what the hell it is that you do
None of it is all that easy
To get over in this life
Just strive to lessen the strife (x8)
Just strive for lessons
