Sometimes I get way in over my head
And when I start to lose control, I panic
And when I've found a new object of affection
I start to grow insane and manic
My demons, my mood swings, my episodes do not define me
They don't define me, no
My crises, insecurities, try to take control
But I will never let them define me
So I will pull my roots out from the dirt
The toxic soil that infected my veins
And I'll regrow in a better place on this Earth
I'll break my convictions from their restraints
Oh everything I thought served me before
No longer serves me today
I'll make myself proud and I'll smile down
While I watch those old roots decay
Oftentimes I feel eyes drilled into my back
And I'll get crucified for any decision
Like I'm being analyzed under a goddamn microscope
And I have to move with precision
Tying my worth to society, but they don't know me
No they don't own me, no
I don't even understand myself, so how can they?
No I won't ever let others define me
So I will pull my roots out from the dirt
The toxic soil that infected my veins
And I'll regrow in a better place on this Earth
I'll break my convictions from their restraints
Oh everything I thought served me before
No longer serves me today
I'll make myself proud and I'll smile down
While I watch those old roots decay
The thoughts in my head can get so loud
That I tend to be a victim to the devil on my shoulder
I'm anxious that time is quickly running out
And that my cycles will continue even as I get older
But I'll take a deep breath and let it out
And force myself to stay planted in the ground
I wanna live for me
Honor your commitments to yourself, bubs
And the rest will honesty take care of itself
Some days you'll feel motivated and some days you'll feel less
But whatever it is, just keep striving
All my love
So I will pull my roots out from the dirt
The toxic soil that infected my veins
And I'll regrow in a better place on this Earth
I'll break my convictions from their restraints
Oh everything I thought served me before
No longer serves me today
I'll make myself proud and I'll smile down
While I watch those old roots decay
Yeah I'll watch them decay, oh
I'll make myself proud and I'll smile down
While I watch my old self decay
