Self-Destruct Mode Lyrics

Someone spare a light

I don't smoke except for when I'm givin' up a fight

See that girl eclipsing all other beauty here tonight?

I could take her with me if I tried

But I'd just leave a mess

If she never even meets me, then it's for the best

So I drink another cause of - and cure for - this loneliness

Enduring one more winter in the Midwest

If you could see me now, you'd surely run

It's takin' all I've got to keep away from you, because

If you could see me now, I'd surely want to

Initiate the sequence so that I'd self-destruct

I need a warming touch

UV lights and sleeping pills can only do so much

So I fill up with whatever brings that temporary rush

And focus all attention on my grudge

At nine p.m., a Kamikaze at the bar

The wind exhaled far from "divine"

By three a.m., I've got an army for my war

My elephants and skeletons in line

If you could see me now, you'd surely run

It's takin' all I've got to keep away from you, because

If you could see me now, I'd surely want to

Initiate the sequence so that I'd self-destruct
