One More Night

i know i said i'd stop being fucked up all the time
but look, i'm already drunk tonight
i know i promised within one year i'd be fine
but what's the harm in just one more night
another day
i can't remember what i wanted to forget
i swear i'll change
i really think that this time i can handle it
twelve years of age
i'm popping pills and praying i don't see the sun
the vomit stains
so hold your head up, don't you dare tell anyone
(we don't wanna hear you say it)
bite your tongue and make it go away
and if it bleeds, well, you'll be thanking me one day
i know i said i'd stop being fucked up all the time
but look, i'm already drunk tonight
i know i promised within one year i'd be fine
but what's the harm in just one more night
another day
i've spent ten years telling myself i'll work it out
well, act your age
don't you think you should have outgrown this by now
(have they drugged it out of you yet)
serves you right for trying anyway
'cause let's be honest, do you really think you'll change
i act like i'm so fucking special just because i hate myself
and i talk a big game but i'm just a little kid
i'm gonna show the world exactly how revolting i can get
'cause baby, this is all i've ever been
i know i said i'd stop being fucked up all the time
but look, i'm already drunk tonight
i know i promised within one year i'd be fine
but what's the harm in just one more night

well here we go again, you're playing this stupid game
seems you've been losing since forever
another tantrum waiting for the train
i really thought you'd break your record
well here we go again, you hit yourself in the face
just like you promised you would never
don't you think it's just a little strange
that you still ain't learned any better
'cause it's always been your fault
you can't just keep on doing this
have you any shame at all
yes, i know everything you won't admit
so don't try to shut me off
'cause i am just what you deserve
i'll say anything you want
but this is all that you have earned
well here we go again, it's worse than you have ever felt
there's nothing you love more than failure
you're not an angel 'cause you curse yourself
it never changes your behavior
but you know what you have done
so i don't wanna hear you whine
no, your guilt is not enough
you're not getting away with it this time
so don't try to tune me out
and don't pretend you'll ever learn
you'd have done it all by now
but turns out happy's so much work
and don't try to shut me off
'cause i am just what you deserve
i'll say everything you want
'cause we both know what you are worth

i shut my eyes and count to ten
i recite every word the doctor sent me
i've learned it well, i don't miss a beat
i tell myself to let it pass
i try to grant myself some understanding
i land on ten, i'm still breathing
i'm not one to keep score
but i'm feeling like it's working more and more
i think this time might be the key
i shut my eyes and hold my head
i can't recall a goddamn word they sent me
i don't even get past number three
i'm flailing but i'm sinking fast
and hate myself more with each second passing
they cry my name, i can't hear a thing
so why should i keep score
when after every win the next one's still unsure
i really thought i had something
but can it ever be enough
when each bad day undoes a hundred good ones
i never really pass square one
i'm reaching but i think i'm stuck
i'm searching for a cure where i know there is none
so maybe i should just give up
i shut my eyes and count to ten
i recite every word the doctor sent me
