Words After a Long Night

Its hard to choose the right words sometimes
Hard to see outside my box every night
I don't always understand how i feel
Or even if my feelings are truly my own
My mind is like a jungle
It looks so beautiful from the outside
But its scary when your lost
And the creatures are like my thoughts
Intrusive, fight or flight
It can be a dangerous place so i medicate

Never needed validation
Never needed your salvation
Never begged and never pleaded
Never stepped on toes that didn't need it
Yeah
Never needed validation
Never needed your salvation
Never begged and never pleaded
Never stepped on toes that didn't need it
Yeah

I feel I'm gonna break sometimes
All this hate i feel it cant be mine
It's as if my soul left my body tonight
Am i gonna go crazy
Will you be there with me
Baby
Couldn't stand here without you
Not for one night
Not in my right mind

Never needed validation
Never needed your salvation
Never begged and never pleaded
Never stepped on toes that didn't need it
Yeah
Never needed validation
Never needed your salvation
Never begged and never pleaded
Never stepped on toes that didn't need it
Yeah

I only care about one thing
My other half, my person
Were gonna run this shit
So if you find yourself in the way
Better get steppin'
Our lives are moving a mile a minute
Not really in it for the obstacle course
Of course, you gotta admit
We had some fun for a minute
But I'm not here to play games
And none of these kids are in it to win it
So let me debate, aggregate, and deflate
All my energies
All my enemies
All my entities

Never needed validation
Never needed your salvation
Never begged and never pleaded
Never stepped on toes that didn't need it
Ah yeah
Never needed validation
Never needed your salvation
Never begged and never pleaded
Never stepped on toes that didn't need it
Yeah
