Lyrics

Song Against Itself

This is the song against itself

It's of two minds of it's own

The discussion brought to logical conclusion

It follows through

But is not true

Who dares write a song against itself?

Why do you act like you don't know?

What in the world I'm talking about?

It follows through

You have no clue

(I've already had it up with you)

(I've already had it up with you)

(I've already had it up with you)

(I've already had it up with you)

(I've already had it up with you)
