[ Featuring William Belote ]
How could I ever let this happen
How tired of me
Perfectionism stifled my unfolding
Took away from my identity
And I am searching
To stop self sabotage
Denial is a potent drug
It saves me from seeing the ugliness
But in the end, it eats me and those around me alive
I hid in your light
Believed in your lies
Closed my own eyes
Hidden in plain sight
Embraced delusions keep on coming
Outrun the lies
When we believe in our own phantoms
Something within us dies
And I am searching
To stop self sabotage
Denial is a potent drug
It saves me from seeing the ugliness
But in the end, it eats me and those around me alive
I hid in your light
Believed in your lies
Closed my own eyes
Hidden in plain sight
I'm not afraid of your darkness-don't be afraid of my artist
Through the cracks
The light emerges
And I begin to see
I knew deep inside if I was successful
That you would leave
And I was searching
To stop self sabotage
Acceptance is a potent drug
It saved me by facing what I'd repressed
And in the end I am stronger without you; I am alive
I hid in your light
Believed in your lies
Closed my own eyes
Hidden in plain sight
