The Science of Why Are You Hitting Yourself?

I've got that 3 a.m. fear again
Nothing's going according to my plans
I know I should try
But I've given up most of the time
And now I'm falling behind

The voice inside my head, it's telling me it won't get better
The voice inside my head says "Don't get up, don't even bother"
Sometimes it's hard to just be strong and say
"Fuck the voice inside my head"

I give up, I've lost track of all the Irish goodbyes
Turns out there's countless ways to leave the things you love behind
Anxiety's a friend that comes to visit
Crawls inside your brain, defeats it
Says "You can dream but never be it oh no"

The voice inside my head, it's telling me it won't get better
The voice inside my head says "Don't get up, don't even bother"
But I'm searching for something, so I'll carry on singing
"Fuck the voice inside my head"

And while there's blood still pumping through my veins
I'll fight against my backwards, failing brain
And if I find myself too tired to try
I'll let it slide, return inspired
And keep repeating til the day that I die

I've got that 3 a.m. fear again
Nothing's going according to my plans
It's gonna take some time
It's only all in my mind
And I'm done falling behind

It's gonna get better
It's gotta get better
Fuck the voice inside my head
