Self Preservation (Lyrics)

Published on 29 September 2025 at 21:13

Spin me around under the stars.

Find myself living in memories,

they fill my heart.

Makes me wonder if it's cause

I already know which ones 

will fall apart.

 

That's the problem with living in the moment.

You really can't see ahead that far.

Think I'll stay in my head

a little longer.

Not ready yet to start

cutting new scars.

 

Call it self preservation,

or sabotage,

to be on the run from my heart.

Call me a coward,

at least I'm in control of it all.

 

Turn around pretend you don't see

a beautiful future,

staring right back at me.

Makes me angry,

that I can't move on from the safety

of living in the past

--oh what a drag, oh what a drag.

 

Call it self preservation,

or sabotage,

to be on the run from my heart.

Call me a coward,

at least I'm in control of it all.

 

Spin me around for one more dance.

It's time I step back out of my

silly little head.
