Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I wish my head had a trapdoor

For when I need escaping

Can't live with myself anymore

Feels like I'm suffocating

Tight spaces, breathing in exhaust

Spiraling in negative thoughts

Hostage, duck taped in the garage

A master of self sabotage

[Chorus]

I don't, I don't know how to let somebody know

I try to scream, but fear has got me by the throat

[Verse 2]

And I was talking to a friend about my situation

He's been exactly where I've been

Familiar isolation

A basket case for days on end

A prison of comparisons

Hostage, duck taped in the garage

A master of self sabotage

[Chorus]

I don't, I don't know how to let somebody know

I try to scream, but fear has got me by the throat

[Bridge]

Gaslit by my mirror, makes me wish that I was someone else

I know that I can't love her until I decide to love myself

Gaslit by my mirror, makes me wish that I was someone else

I know that I can't love her until I decide to love myself

[Chorus]

I don't, I don't know how to let somebody know

I try to scream, but fear has got me by the throat

[Verse 3]

And so, the plot thickens again

I'm both villain and victim

Drunk on lonely entitlement

Wanting someone to listen

I'm screaming from the inside out

Hover above then come back down

I'm not some narcissistic god

Abandon this self sabotage

[Outro]

Abandon this self sabotage

Abandon this self sabotage

Abandon this self sabotage

Abandon this self sabotage
