"Nothing Can Save Me (From Myself)" lyrics

There's a star, there's a light
But they're both lost in the static
Of night
Where has the daylight gone?

I traded my spark for a fear of the dark
Now I curse my reflection
And laugh at my tries
'Cause nothing can fix this failure I am

Well, I knew it'd be hard
But I wish I had a warning
That nothing I do
Would ever be good enough

Should I change my direction
And forget where I've been heading?
When nothing can stop me from wasting my time
No, nothing can save me from myself

Once I could fill the wells of doubt
With bigger walls of sound
Now I turn myself around
And even inside out

But I don't know who I am
And I don't know what I want
Think I need a helping hand
Or maybe an exit plan
I wish that someone would listen
But maybe I've got nothing to say

Like smoke into the air
I'll quickly disappear
Fading into nothingness
As little fires pollute the earth
Oh, well
I've done all that I could do
If I wanted
A quiet life, a view of humble hills
I would still be on the path
Or on a couple pills

But I know who I am
And I know where I stand
I'm just knocked down again
It happens now and then
I wish that someone would hear me
But maybe I'm just wasting my time

So, we're back at the start
Though it feels like an ending
Oh, time keeps moving
Whether you're ready or not
If the clocks could turn back
Then I'd change everything
But life don't got sympathy or second tries
And nothing can save me from myself
