There’s a black cloud, hanging over my head
strip me back and there’s not much left
What’s the point of going outside?
The world won’t change if I live or die

I used to take all the strain
I used to hate on the world
I used to sink to the depths just to reach new lows

But now I’m finding my feet
And now I'm free to let go
I had to give up pain, to take control

I’ve spent my life not diving in, just feeling low
I’ve spent my life not going in, but here we go

I’m doing fine, getting by on my own
Wonder why when I’m high, I feel so alone
I hate my self-deprecating
I hate my self-medicating

There's a black flag hanging over my bed
There's no point in losing sleep over all the words I left unsaid

Its bad luck, it's bad luck
It's just life, just calling my bluff
Can't keep putting life off forever

I’ve spent my life not diving in, just feeling low
I’ve spent my life not going in, but here we go

I’m doing fine, getting by on my own
Wonder why when I’m high, I feel so alone
I hate my self-deprecating
I hate my self-medicating
I hate my self-loathing I'm over it
Self-loathing I'm over it
