Lyrics

Self Control

I'm on my bullshit again
Wake me up before you get in bed
Little kisses on my eyes
You are such a waste of time

Like mosquitos in the night
Suckin' more blood just to stay alive
Before we know, six feet under
Why'd I let you over?

If life could give me reasons or give me better friends
A little self control could get you out of my head
Another stupid Sunday, traded god for sex
A little self control could get me out of your bed

A little self control
I would sell my soul
A little self control
Should I just let go, so I could crash and explode?

Runnin' around like a headless chicken
Brains all fried but my nerves still kickin'
Swallow your spit like I'm swallowing glass
You cum so quick, why you cum so fast?

Brand new ride but the high don't last
Brand new clothes but I feel like trash
Procrastination, I'm complacent

If life could give me reasons or give me better friends
A little self control could get you out of my head
Another stupid Sunday, traded god for sex
A little self control could get me out of your bed

A little self control
I would sell my soul
A little self control
Should I just let go, so I could crash and explode?

A little self control
I would sell my soul
A little self control
Should I just let go, so I could crash and explode?
A little self control
