MORE BEHIND THE EYES
People televised my pain when I needed help

A little bit of loss
A little tragedy
Looking at myself now most of it has paid off
You can ask me at what cost
Looking like a rag doll letting myself go
Sleeping in my car in the snow covered with my clothes
All the times I did everything on my own
Like some kind of disciplined narcissism
I learned to love myself when I was low
And yeah I hate myself sometimes
But I know
I've always been so far from crossing a line
And you can ask me at what cost
And I'll tell you they say yellow is the color of ego
It's the color and a cost of my halo
And everytime they looked down on me in my hole
I let it destroy me
Dont shrug it off
No
Let that wolf feed
Find your flow
You can ask me at what cost
Enough ego to know you're better off
Alone
I lose my halo when I'm alone
And my fangs grow
And when my fangs rot with yellow
They say I'm someone they dont know
But in my chaos I've found control
And these fangs and my halo have made me whole
Cause I didnt know this part of myself either, but I learned to love myself when I was low and now that I've learned to love my shadow I might have become a narcissist but at least now my shadows not black, but yellow
