I've left them messages
Time and time again
I was once someone that they believed in
But one choice cause them to abandon
My mind runs like a stallion
And I can't seem to find the balance
I've been the one to build a callous
But that beat the fuck out of me with mallets
Nothing is worth the hype
Because all of your friends will be high
Leaving you without a goodbye sign
Because they never actually wanted to be in your life
I'm so used to be called embarrassing
Because I'm the one who's over sharing
Even though the racist homophobic people are staring
And I've learned that I'm the only one caring
She told me not to give up
But I remember I begged for God
To tell me why I'm such a fraud
It's called self destruction
The universe left me out to die
And I was told that it was my time
I remember when a grown man lied
I ran to the alcohol to cope with my life
I rely on music because no one is there for me
I'm the one person that nobody can ever really see
So they always tell me that I'm on my own and leave
And I took the weed of my pocket and smoked it under my sleeve
You don't want to be changed Like it changed me
Because the places you'll go to just breathe
Will make you wish that you never even would believe
That there are places that are called good
I was told to never give up
But I know that I'm living in my head
And soon it will all come to a descending end
It's called self destruction
I was told to get out of my head
But I would rather be sleeping in my bed
And there are places where light shed
That made all of the people in my life to leave the rest
I was told to just run out of the void
But try to sit there and listen to the voices
Full of grown men, judges, and teenage boys
Who would rather ruin my life instead of helping me escape
I told myself that I'll never give up
But the weight of the world isn't worth it
I'm sick of pretending and I'm sick of the liars
It's called self criticism
For years and years I've had something to prove to you
But now I have nothing left to do
For years and years I was always told to just pretend
So I pretended until I broke the line
For years and years I wasted all of my time
Wasted on fake people and making fake smiles
For years and years I was told I'm worth nothing
But now I look back and realize I have no shame left
I was always told to just keep my head up
But I know they were talking to themselves
A bastard is who I am and who I'll always be
It's called self destruction
