scare myself lyrics

Thoughts keep on racing, one by one
I don't know who they're running from
Biting my lips until they bleed
Symptom of livin' life with me
'Cause I'm scared they're 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, mmm
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
Sometimes I even scare myself (oh) ( oh))
Ain't it kinda funny how
Nobody can cut me down like I can
I drag myself through Hell again (oh) ( oh))
What's it gonna be today?
Am I gonna 'cause me pain?
I'll be damned, sometimes I even scare myself
Leave me all alone with the voices
End up in the wrong kind of places
Every day's a dark situation
Trying not to hoop 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
Sometimes I even scare myself (oh) ( oh))
Ain't it kinda funny how (funny how)
Nobody can cut me down like I can (like I can)
I drag myself through Hell again (oh) ( oh))
What's it gonna be today? (gonna be today?)
Am I gonna 'cause me pain?
I'll be damned, sometimes I even scare myself
'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
Sometimes I even scare myself (oh) ( oh))
Ain't it kinda funny how (funny how)
Nobody can cut me down like I can
I drag myself through Hell again (oh) ( oh))
What's it gonna be today? (gonna be today?)
Am I gonna 'cause me pain?
I'll be damned, sometimes I even scare myself
(Sometimes I even scare myself)
(Sometimes I even scare myself)
(Sometimes I even scare myself)
