lyrics

Get Out of Your Own Way

Deep deep deep depression
Clouds my memories
Happily neglected
Its trajectory
I’ve battled its affections
But it’s stalking me
There’ll never be harmony
I’ll never get sympathy

I’m running out of patience
Under scrutiny
Chemical vacations
Are a chance to be free
(few) Moments of elation
But no guarantee
No never be guarantees
There’ll never be guarantees

Try, try, try
Try to get out of your own way

Delusion by numbers
One two three
The formula for instant positivity
But it’s faded like thunder
Like a distant dream
Absently abandoning your self-esteem

Want to be part of the culture?
Then you need to be
Outside of the zones of sensibility
Become like a vulture
Then it’s plain to see
Picking through the bones of your reality

They said so, must be true
They said so, must be true
No bullshit, no thank you
Who’s reprogramming who?

Check your devotion to
The things you need to lose
Go find your own way to
Stand up, kneel down, push through
Hold up, break down, pull through

No bullshit, no thank you
No bullshit, no thank you
Go find your own way to
Stand up, kneel down, push through

Get out of your own way…
