Selfish Side
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Neverending endings I make up
My head is a dangerous place
Cause I can think myself out of anything
Change comes slow, I hate slow
Rest, it's a constant
Rest when you're dead, rest when you're dead they said
So I will rest when I'm dead
Yeah cause my feet feel like the tightrope I walk
Yeah it splits sanity at the eye (?)
And the self I've been obsessed with
Well I just found out that it's just my selfish side
Yeah it's just my selfish side
And you, you listen to my all
All of my guts my words spill over
To a great big landfill of lies
That I created so I don't feel like I'm over
Yeah cause my feet feel like the tightrope I walk
Yeah it splits sanity at the eye (?)
And the self I've been obsessed with
Well I just found out that it's just my selfish side
Yeah it's just my selfish side
I'll leave it all on the street in the winter
Oh I'll leave it all in the leaves in the winter
I'll leave it all on the beach in the winter
My feet feel like the tightrope I walk
Yeah it splits sanity at the eye (?)
And the self I've been obsessed with
Well I just found out that it's just my selfish side
Yeah it's just my selfish side
