(Verse)

One of those days, to stand under here while it rains

I need a break, I need to dance on the brakes

What can I say, self preservation instincts

I cannot put on a face, that would dissolve in a day

I brought a plate, that's on account of my lateness

But you said you're glad that I came, I brought myself anyways

And that shit is more than enough

That made me red in the face, you helped me muster the strength

I had to buffer to play, I might've got lost on the way

So I got some scars in exchange but it's all good

(Chorus)

Sеlf preservation, that's been my basis

My fort was makeshift whеn the roof it caved in

Thought there was no escaping (Ooh)

Buried my sins in 6 flasks of whiskey

When the lights get dim, I find the love within

I'm thinking how could I contend with not being myself

I'd rather quit

(Bridge)

Look what I've done to myself, fuck it up yea

Fuck it up, fuck it up, yea

Fuck it up, yea

Look at what I've done to myself

Fuck it up yea

Fuck it up, fuck it up, yea

(Outro)

Got me up in arms again to fight my tolerance

Can't acknowledge if it's really you

It's obvious the more you talk, the less...

It's not often that you hear the truth

Look what I've done to myself, fuck it up yea

Fuck it up, fuck it up, yea

Fuck it up, yea

Look at what I've done to myself

Fuck it up yea

Fuck it up, fuck it up, yea
