Self​-​Assured Destruction

from Self Destruct by Down In Autumn

/

lyrics

It’s probably just the booze, but I always feel like shit
The lack of sleep, the nightmares and the shit that comes with it
I know it’s probably just the smokes, but this asthma’s here to stay,
The lack of breath is useful when you’ve nothing left to say

And when it comes down to it, you tried to help me out
I'm grateful for that, but really there’s no point
Cause you could never mean anything to me
It’s self assured destruction that I need

Its probably just the drugs, but I sometimes feel superb
The lack of worry, self doubt all replaced with feeling loved
I know it’s probably just the cold, but I’m always feeling sick,
Or maybe it’s the lack of warmth from people that I miss

And when it comes down it, they tried to help me out
I'm grateful for it, but there was no real point
Cause they could never mean anything to me,
Its self assured destruction that I need

I don’t know wha'ts missing here, it's probably something small,
Often found in bottles and available to all,
Or maybe something found in tiny moments in the heart
But I just don't know where to even start.

So when it comes down to it, I’ll try to help me out
You might notice, but really there's no point.
Cause I could never mean anything to me
This self assured destruction’s all I need
And you could never mean anything to me,
It's self assured destruction that I need.
