lyrics

Sunrise doesn't require permission, fire won't subside
Out of contrition, we can't rewind time with a petition
Conditions of nature are just the way
Bucking against them creates destruct, decay
Poseidon waves of distraught water
Seismic shakes, ruptured fault trauma
Infernos ignited by friction, incinerated bridges
Twister's rip through homes, instigating division
Induce tsunamis in calm cool surroundings
Soothing abuse of precipitation pounding
The skull like a speed bag, needing that rush
That comes attached with floods flashing
As habits, long ingrained are like John McClane
A dragon hard to slay, imagine moths to flame
Fetish for fire play, tugging a lion's mane
Trying to escape unscathed from its violent rage
But scarred plenty, reservoir empty
Built up a tall heavy wall levee meant to bar entry
And ways around there aren't any
Being told to get over yourself already
You don't need nobody to lift you, your biggest
Hurdle is just you, so what is the issue?
It's simple as flipping a new leaf over
The old foliage will blow away any day
Or so they say

Be like, get over yourself already
Get over yourself already
Get over yourself already
It's that easy, if you wanna be free

And we hear that so much from others that we end up internalizing it
And trying to use it as a positive motivational affirmation or something
It only makes our burden that much heavier
So then

Covered in geese bumps, nervously rub proverbial tree stump
Concerted efforts to leap up (But)
Swallowed by darkness, a large bubbling tar pit
The prized possession it's unwilling to part with (And)
No one's allowed near when all the way down here
The idea of misery loving a crowd sounds weird to
Cauliflowered ears bashed in, blackened eyes
And fat lips, intrapersonal clashes
Under a mask living virtually unknown
Even perfect strangers in our own homes
Hoarders of despair swearing nobody cares, B
Keep it to yourself, don't be trying to share grief
In own universe remain cooped
Keeping elements at bay in impenetrable spacesuits
Groundhog days repeating the same loop
Defeatism takes root, believing what ain't truth
Aching to trade shoes 'cause by the charade fooled
The pain shoots, but remain mute
The grand wizards of our own self-hate groups
Braid our own noose then, let it suffocate 'til our face blue
We make do 'cause it's been ingrained to
Presume that it's shameful, lame or wasteful
To seek trained professional aid for a breakthrough
Many will say you simply need a savior to pray to

So just get over yourself already
Get over yourself already
Get over yourself already
It's that easy, if you wanna be free
We like, get over yourself already
Get over yourself already
Get over yourself already
It's that easy, if you wanna be free

Look
To say get over yourself already
Is little help when your reservoir's empty
Cursing yourself won't offer a remedy
So never claim you are your worst enemy
Saying get over yourself already
Is little help when your reservoir's empty
If need be, don't hesitate to ever seek
Medicinal aid, rehabilitation, therapy
