I find the most creative ways
To put up walls and lock the gates
To keep out hope and trap the hate
I am my own worst enemy
Unless you show me something new
I fall, I bruise, I'm born to lose
I need your hand to pull me though
Reach out, reach down, put out the fuse

I am a self-destructive man
And I'll tear me down any way I can
I'll overload 'til I explode
It's the only way I've ever known
'Cause that's just me and that's just who I am
A self-destructive man

The war it rages on inside
The left and right are choosing sides
It's what I want verses what's right
I hope the right comes out alive
Unless you show me something new
I'll tear me up, I'll self- destruct
I haven't got a prayer
Alone your in control, I've had enough

I am a self-destructive man
And I'll tear me down any way I can
I'll overload 'til I explode
It's the only way I've ever known
'Cause that's just me and that's just who I am
A self destructive man
