Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thoughts keep on racing, one by one
I don't know who they're running from
Biting my lips until they bleed
Symptom of living life with me
'Cause I'm scared of the monsters that I swear are under my bed
Scared that they might just be all in my head
Scared that I'm dreaming and already dead, mm-mm
And I'm terrified of the shadows that follow me home
Afraid that they'll get me when I'm all alone
Look in the mirror, I see someone else
[Chorus]
Sometimes, I even scare myself (Oh)
Ain't it kinda funny how
Nobody can cut me down like I can?
I drag myself through hell and (Oh)
What's it gonna be today?
How am I gonna 'cause me pain?
I'll be damned
Sometimes, I even scare myself
[Verse 2]
Leave me all alone with the voices
End up in the wrong kind of places
Every day's a dark situation
Trying not to oop with the poison
Paint my face 'cause the real me is pointless
Do my nails just to rip me to pieces
Lose my mind 'cause I don't wanna keep it
[Chorus]
Sometimes, I even scare myself (Oh)
Ain't it kinda funny how
Nobody can cut me down like I can?
I drag myself through hell and (Oh)
What's it gonna be today?
How am I gonna 'cause me pain?
I'll be damned
Sometimes, I even scare myself
[Bridge]
'Cause I'm scared that the monsters that I swear are under my bed
Scared that they might just be all in my head
Scared that I'm dreaming and already dead
[Chorus]
Sometimes, I even scare myself (Oh)
Ain't it kinda funny how
Nobody can cut me down like I can?
I drag myself through hell and (Oh)
What's it gonna be today?
How am I gonna 'cause me pain?
I'll be damned
Sometimes, I even scare myself
[Outro]
Sometimes, I even scare myself
Sometimes, I even scare myself
Sometimes, I even scare myself
