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
