Self-Destruct

My own worst enemy

Bad decisions undertaken

Good intentions paving the way

To a hell of my own makin’



Heart in the right place

But the rest of me in trouble

Surveying the destruction

Knee deep in the rubble



Always been this way

Falling on my own blade

Trying to do it right

Best of plans mislaid

Must be wired wrong

Because all I do is fucked

Stand back just get away from me

I’m built to self-destruct



No friends around me

I’ve driven them all away

Wanted nothing but the best for them

But those plans all went astray



Relationships fall to pieces

I always push things too far

In the end I wind up alone

Admiring my self-inflicted scars



Always been this way

Falling on my own blade

Trying to do it right

Best of plans mislaid

Must be wired wrong

Because all I do is fucked

Stand back just get away from me

I’m built to self-destruct



I keep trying so hard

Maybe someday I’ll get it right

Perhaps there’ll be sun tomorrow

But I’m burning in hell tonight



Always been this way

Falling on my own blade

Trying to do it right

Best of plans mislaid

Must be wired wrong

Because all I do is fucked

Stand back just get away from me

I’m built to self-destruct

That's me ... metal all the way!
