Self Destruct Lyrics


Can’t you see the signs?
Blurred lines, no money, no peace
Don’t believe your eyes, you’re sick, sick like me
You want my advice, no shame, don’t look away now
We all have a role to play, so take the stage

Is this what you want it to be?
Are we gonna die before you get enough
You get enough to get off?
Which one hits you harder, the truth or the gun?
This is how we self destruct

Drink your ice-cold lies, go try forget about me
Don’t you look so fine, hands up and on your knees?
I wish I was high, daydreaming through the last scene
What a twisted joke is life
I can’t breathe

Is this what you want it to be?
Are we gonna die before you get enough
You get enough to get off?
One way or another, we’ve got to get up
Hate is the drug killing us
Give me the truth or the gun
This is how we self destruct

I hope it was worth it
They say we deserve this
Now everyone’s down on their knees
At your service
We had to learn this
The hardest way

Are we gonna die before you get enough
You get enough to get off?
One way or another, we’ve got to get up
Hate is the drug killing us
Give me the truth or the gun
This is how we self destruct
