Lyrics
[Pre-Intro — Distant / Echoed]
(They say you gotta stop with the self-hatred… self-hatred…)
(It gets inside your mentality…)
(And once it gets a hold of you…)
(It never wants to let you free…)
[Male Vocal]
They say that I gotta stop with the self-hatred,
Before it takes my mind and leaves me somewhere vacant,
(Yeah…)
Like I’m locked inside a cage with the darkest side of me,
And every time I find the key, it keeps it outta reach.
Telling me I’m nothing, telling me I’ve lost my place,
Making every single mirror something I don’t wanna face.
I stand alone now, thinking everybody hurts because of me,
While they wake up every morning just to give me what I need.
And I hear ’em through the night,
Getting ready for another day,
Still giving me advice,
Still searching for the words that might convince me I should have hope..
They tell me to believe…
But believing ain’t as easy as it seems.
My mind became a prison
And somehow I handed darkness all the keys.
Now I’m searching through the person that I used to be,
’Cause somewhere in this battle…
I got lost in me.
[Hook]
They say that you gotta stop with the self-hatred,
Before it takes your mentality and leaves you feeling vacant,
Like being captured in a cage with the scoundrel in your mind,
He keeps feeding you the darkness while you’re running from the light.
They say that you gotta stop with the self-hatred,
You can’t let it convince you that your whole life has been wasted,
There’s a war behind my eyes that nobody else can see,
And I’m scared if I keep losing…
There’ll be nothing left of me.
[Male Vocal]
I’ve made mistakes I wanna take away,
But I don’t know how to shake the guilt and shame.
I replay every second, every word, every day,
Like punishing myself could somehow make it all okay.
And I wanna pray,
But I don’t always know what I believe.
If I had one thing to ask for,
Take some of this weight off of my Mom for me.
’Cause I know that she is hurting
More than she would ever let me see.
Still she gets up like a hero
Even when she’s running empty.
She says,
“Break out the cage!
Take your seat!
Take your life back from the darkness underneath!
You got reasons to fight,
You got reasons to stay,
But nothing’s gonna change
Till you stop giving your control away!”
And after every conversation,
Every tear and sleepless night,
I know…
I know that she is right.
But first I gotta look inside
And face the thing I’ve tried to hide…
[Final Hook Soft Vocal]
They say that I gotta stop with the self-hatred,
Before I lose myself believing I can never make it,
I’ve been captured in a cage by the enemy inside,
But maybe I don’t have to let him control me for my whole life.
They say that I gotta stop with the self-hatred,
Maybe loving who I am is something I can learn with patience,
I’m still fighting with a mind that keeps on turning against me…
But if the cage was built by me…
Maybe I can find the key.
[Male Vocal Outro Breaking Into Soft Vocal]
’Cause I…
Don’t wanna…
Be the one…
Who’s lost..
in me..
