"I'm Selfish"
What is happening?
The thought kept racing thru my brain
What is this life I lead
Could I really be going insane?
For so long I tried
To make myself believe I was doing the right thing
I was so wrong
Now I am so ashamed
I fucked up
I am drowning
While I am crazy dead
Please keep me blind
I have nothing left to give
