SELF PRESERVATION

(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
