Wish I could see myself the way I see my friends I wouldn't trip about all of the odds and ends I guess I can't complain Cause I'm the one to blame Can I change my brain Or am I stuck this way? I will try to recognize The love, the hate, the truth, the lies I will try to tame the fire Then tell myself a different lie Wish I could treat myself the way I treat my friends My pride is up in flames, my ego plays pretend So I just self degrade until my heart's content Until the feelings fade no I don't need to vent I guess I can't complain Cause I'm the one to blame Can I change my brain Or am I stuck this way? I will try to recognize The love, the hate, the truth, the lies I will try to tame the fire Then tell myself a different lie And I can't even imagine All of the things that would happen If I was treating my people the way I treat me At least I know what I lack in The psyche's what I'm attacking The introspective unpacking Still I can't free me I guess I can't complain Cause I'm the one to blame Can I change my brain Or am I stuck this way? I will try to recognize The love, the hate, the truth, the lies I will try to tame the fire Then tell myself a different lie I will try to recognize (I will try) The love, the hate, the truth, the lies (To recognize) I will try to tame the fire (The love, the hate) Then tell myself a different lie (The truth, the lies)
