lyrics

They said admitting to yourself that you’re an asshole
is the first step on the road to recovery
But trying’s always been the first step on my road to failure
With eleven more steps down that weary road again for me
And I don’t need you telling me there is good in me
I see myself in the mirror just fine
Don’t need no release from some radical priest
The things I’ve done have always been all mine

Well I tried drowning my sorrows
But the bastards learned how to swim
Gotta double down my efforts now
I just can’t let them win
Well I was born under a bad sign
Always knew I would come to harm
But there ain’t no point in excuses now
When I’m checking in at the bone farm

Hold on tight down we go
Hold on tight the hurt don’t show
Hold on tight taking it slow
Hold on fast as I sink like a stone

I know you tried your best to love me
You thought your heart was big enough for two
But square it all with you then I’m still left with myself
And there’s others hurt and reparations due
Well you know you
Can’t always trust what your mother tells you
When you find out better often it’s too late
You ask me now just how far you can trust me
Well you know you just need to calculate my weight

Hold on tight down we go
Hold on tight the hurt don’t show
Hold on tight taking it slow
Hold on fast as I sink like a stone
