lyrics

despite the foreign substances you’re poisoning your body with
and all the ugly looks your mirror chose to be reflected
the endless empty promises you made when you were wasted

only you decide what is to be, if anything
only you decide what is to be, if anything, if anything

of all the half-baked failed attempts to rid yourself of your ego
And how you pushed away your friends when you lost all those kilos
pretending that they never knew what happened in your bedroom
pretending that they never knew about the things you were goin’ through

only you decide what is to be, if anything
only you decide what is to be, if anything, if anything
