lyrics

Its not worth it!
Its not worth it!

Admit it, believe it, you’ re not as strong as you once thought
Submit it, delete it, to conceed back into the dark
I want it, I know it, If i could just convince myself
Just convince myself

Im not open to being strong for the likes of me
Learning how hard it is to believe
That honestly theres worth in me

Bold statements rattle me

Ive broken the door down, so i cant choose to shut this out
Im open exposure, fire is burning my skin now
And its singeing off my bones, and its left me here
To feel the cold. (to feel the cold!)

Im not open to being strong for the likes of me
Learning how hard it is to believe
That honestly theres worth in me
Im not open to being strong for the likes of self
Learning how hard it is to show,
If i could just convince myself

Convince myself, convince myself
CONVINCE MYSELF!
CONVINCE MYSELF! haaaaa

(Whoa whoa part)

I am made from these rusted parts!
A combination of demolished art
A figure of speech, the weakest breath of wind
A fight that I cant win

Im not open to being strong for the likes of me
Learning how hard it is to believe
That honestly theres worth in meee
Im not open to being strong for the likes of self
Learning how hard it is to show
If i could just convince myself whoaaaa

Convince myself, Convince myself, Convince myself, Convince myself…
