lyrics

It's only when I’m a drunken mess I feel my best and I'm not kidding.
But that path led me down a road which left me alone, so now I'm reconsidering.
My memory’s worse than spotty, everything's foggy, even my own birthday.
The only things I remember to do are pay my dues, my bills and say I’m sorry.
What do you do when your natural state is self destruction?
I wish that I could be you.
For a while I was doing good, and if I could go back I would.
But when it comes to being me I was born mean, it's in my genes.
People say I should help myself but I can't help myself that's what I’ve been saying
Every single tiny success inspires excess and I start barreling down.
What do you do when your natural state is self destruction?
I wish that I could be you.
Taking a break from what I do.
What do you do when your natural state is self destruction?
I wish that I could be you.
