Talking To Myself

(album: Life By Misadventure - 2021)

I've been messed up of late
Been talking to myself a lot
But I'm trying to embrace
Just teetering on self-destruct

I'm sorry if the music is too loud for us to talk
But when it turns to silence, I'll be left here with my thoughts

I hope this doesn't turn you off
Still I need some comfort here
Not looking for your sympathy
Just help me not to disappear

And so I make the music too loud for us to talk
'Cause when it turns to silence, I'll be left here with my thoughts

'Cause I need something, oh, I need someone
My heart is running on fumes, can't take another minute in this room
If I needed somewhere, where would I go?
When I need perspective, when the darkness seems relentless

I've been talking to myself
I've been talking to myself

Sure you never meant to be so cruel
You lit a fire under my feet
Self-medicate to hide the truth
And that always brings out the beast

And so I make the music too loud for us to talk
So when it turns to silence, I'll be left here in my thoughts

'Cause I need something, I need someone
My heart is running on fumes, can't take another minute in this room
If I needed somewhere, where would I go?
When I need perspective, when the darkness seems relentless

I've been talking to myself
Been talking to myself

Show me a place
Oh, where I can catch my breath
Where we can start again

'Cause I need something, oh, I need someone
My heart is running on fumes, can't take another minute in this room
If I needed somewhere, where would I go?
When I need perspective, when the darkness seems relentless

I've been talking to myself
I've been talking to myself
Been talking to myself
I've been talking to myself
