# lyrics

I don’t need any help 
From anyone, except myself 
A troubled hand
A lazy mind
Self saboteur 
Of my own design 

But, if you’ve got the time, you'll find

I can be anything
For anyone, except myself
A life and soul
A sucking hole
In my distaste
I’ll know myself 

But, if you’ve got the time, you’ll find
I know my own mind
And in all, in all I’d say
I’m fine

-break-

I can save myself 
From anything, except myself
A checkered past, a bad romance
All my sins, lining up to dance

But, if you’ve got the time, you’ll find
I know my own mind
And in all, in all I’d say
I’m fine

-Interlude-

If I were a fish, I’d drag myself to shore
Raised not kill, become a carnivore 
Pushed to rise high, I’d live beneath the floor

But, If you’ve got the time,
I’m fine.

Accept Myself
