Redeeming A Monster

Dear Self,
Stop eating your own foot
Try saying something
Worth listening to

Cause every time you cover up
Your problems you say
"This was the last time
I'll never do it again"
(I'll never do it again)

And it feels like
I never really knew you at all
So let's give this some time
And maybe it will resolve itself

(Maybe, maybe)
I'm so tired of
(Maybe we'll be)
Making the same mistakes

I lost myself
So long ago
I hid my sins
Where I thought no one would know

And every time
I look back I see
The person you used to love in me

And it gets so hard
To see my own reflection sometimes
I'm standing unconscious
And I'm ready to wake up

I hope you brought
Some color with you

Cause these lines get grayer
From here on out

The deeper we go

I lost myself
So long ago
I hid my sins
Where I thought no one would know

And every time
I look back I see
The person you used to love in me
In me

(And every time
I look back I see
The person you used to love in me)

You can't stop me from making the same mistakes
Can't stop me from making the same mistakes
You can't stop me from making the same mistakes
The same mistakes (In me)

You can't stop me from making the same mistakes
You can't stop me from making the same mistakes
Can't stop me from making the same mistakes

(I'm pleading
For just a little more
Time to heal myself)

And I'm hoping you're still here
As I walk up to your door
But you're gone
