Lyrics
“Self-Destructive Tendencies”
(Words and Music by Rocket Club)
Open your mind and shut your mouth
Before you keep on driving south
You can’t keep saying that everything is fine when time is running out
So many voices in your head
They love to crawl inside your bed
They wrap you up in their arms, but the alarms are flashing red
Just a little bit, then a little more
Just use as directed -- it’s what they’re for!
Just another day, then another night
How can it be bad if it makes you feel all right?
Your eyes are open but you cannot see
Your ears are working but you don’t hear me
You built the prison but you can’t break free
From self-destructive tendencies
Self-destructive tendencies
If everything is going well
You get uneasy, I can tell
You just can’t wait to throw it into gear and steer toward hell
You’re not good enough, such a fuckin’ joke
Time to throw a wrench in between the spokes
Feeling like a fraud? Feeling like a fake?
Make up an emergency; Find some shit to break
Your eyes are open but you cannot see
Your ears are working but you don’t hear me
You built the prison but you can’t break free
From self-destructive tendencies
Self-destructive tendencies
And the walls are closing in
Your eyes are open but you cannot see
Your ears are working but you don’t hear me
You built the prison but you can’t break free
From self-destructive tendencies
Self-destructive tendencies
