Back on Track Lyrics by Negative Self

Negative Self

2015

[Verse 1]
I felt more alive then I ever had
I felt the pressure in my head go down more every day
I've learnt to tolerate the lie
So much easier to just lay down here and die

[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta get up, got to occupy my mind
You had your reasons I had mine

[Chorus]
How can I ever keep trying?
When I measure everything against the self-deceit
And there's no point in denying
That part's of me just see it as relief

[Verse 2]
I expect too much out of life
There is no living thing around that can make me whole
They say true meaning comes from within
But if the inside's just a void I'll never win

[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta get up, got to occupy my mind
You had your reasons I had mine

[Chorus]
How can I ever keep trying?
When I measure everything against the self-deceit
And there's no point in denying
That part's of me just see it as relief

All good things come to end
I gotta realize, I gotta gotta realize
All good things come to end
I gotta realize, I gotta gotta realize
To reinvent the need (temptation, my favorite enemy)
The ego has to bleed (if it bleeds, if it dies, if it bleed it dies)
To reinvent the need (temptation, my favorite enemy)
The ego has to bleed (if it bleeds, if it dies, if it bleed it dies)

[Chorus]
How can I ever keep trying?
When I measure everything against the self-deceit
And there's no point in denying
That part's of me just see it as relief
How can I ever keep trying?
When I measure everything against the self-deceit
And there's no point in denying
That part's of me just see it as relief

[Outro]
Back on track
Gotta get up
Back on track
Gotta get up
Back on track
