In an album describing trauma and titled after “grief”, this track is a rallying cry for taking responsibility for your own wellbeing. Despite the physical and mental abuse the artist details in tracks like ‘Me, Museum’, here she recognises that in order to get better, she has has to ‘look herself i...
[Verse 1]
My brain is a house divided
Rooms with too many doors
I can't tell you why
It's a home without a light
I spent most of my years
Trying to burn the roof
Stop being an arsonist, oh I was
Waiting for the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen people do crazy things
I've seen it in myself
But I'm not going back there
Planning my darkest hour
[Chorus]
Blocking all the windows
In a house full of mirrors
It's me against me
Blocking all the windows
In a house full of windows
It's me against me
Ah, ah
It's me fighting me
Oh
[Rap]
Yeah
I saw God on the sidewalk once
Walking towards me; I thought that I was dreaming
Put my hoody on over my head, tucked to my neck
Crossed the street, pretended I didn't see him
I keep beer close, and I keep love just out of arm's reach
Probably for a reason
Cos if I touch it, and learn it, and study it
I'll know how shallow it really is in the deep end
Why do I still wanna swim?
Why can't I surrender to the voices within?
Why can't losing it all in the wounds from the fall
Be enough to never do it never again?
I forget how bad it is
This fleeting happiness
Self sabotage, another means to balance in
Another Hail Mary to write my way out of hell
But I don't think that I'm ready to fully forgive myself
The truth they admire
But you are a liar
Psychiatrists wanna put my psychopathic self on mood stabilisers
Ruled by desire
The prayer doesn't work if the pew is on fire
Like
[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen people do crazy things
I've seen it in myself
But I'm not going back there
Planning my darkest hours
[Chorus]
Blocking all the windows
In a house full of mirrors
It's me against me
Blocking all the windows
In a house full of windows
It's me against me
Ah, ah
It's me fighting me
Oh
