cognitive dissonance Lyrics

He said self-loathing won't make you better

I said I know that as well as you

'Cause if we could fix problems by hating them, well

I think we'd have a lot less to do

'Cause there's still a such thing as the cops

There's still shit that we still can't afford

And hell, we're still fighting for somebody's dollars in

Perpetual war after war

He said, you know you're avoiding the question

Self-awareness won't excuse you for shit

You can whine all you want about how you've done wrong

But that won't change the fact that you did

I thought about that for a second

As I woke up to my empty bed

And I'd soon forget that entire interaction, but

This verse just stuck in my head

In the end we all just wanna live

And some of us just wanna die

And I'd like to think I belong to the former, so

Sometimes I just have to lie

And tell myself that nothing ever happened

And that the memories are lost to the sea

But in the back of my mind, when it hits, I unwind

And can barely whisper, "I'm sorry"
