Nothing Can Save Me (From Myself) Lyrics

There's a star, there's a light

But they're both lost in the static

Of night

Where has the daylight gone?

I traded my spark for a fear of the dark

Now I curse my reflection

And laugh at my tries

'Cause nothing can fix this failure I am

Well, I knew it'd be hard

But I wish I had a warning

That nothing I do

Would ever be good enough

Should I change my direction

And forget where I've been heading?

When nothing can stop me from wasting my time

No, nothing can save me from myself

Once I could fill the wells of doubt

With bigger walls of sound

Now I turn myself around

And even inside out

But I don't know who I am

And I don't know what I want

Think I need a helping hand

Or maybe an exit plan

I wish that someone would listen

But maybe I've got nothing to say

Like smoke into the air

I'll quickly disappear

Fading into nothingness

As little fires pollute the earth

Oh, well

I've done all that I could do

If I wanted

A quiet life, a view of humble hills

I would still be on the path

Or on a couple pills

But I know who I am

And I know where I stand

I'm just knocked down again

It happens now and then

I wish that someone would hear me

But maybe I'm just wasting my time

So, we're back at the start

Though it feels like an ending

Oh, time keeps moving

Whether you're ready or not

If the clocks could turn back

Then I'd change everything

But life don't got sympathy or second tries

And nothing can save me from myself
