Melissa Ferrick

Selfish Side

neverending endings I make up

my head is a dangerous place

cause I can think myself out of anything

change comes slow, I hate slow

rest, it's a constant

rest when you're dead, rest when you're dead they said

so I will rest when I'm dead

yeah cause my feet feel like the tightrope I walk

yeah it splits sanity at the eye (???)

and the self I've been obsessed with

well I just found out that it's just my selfish side

yeah it's just my selfish side

and you, you listen to my all

all of my guts my words spill over

to a great big landfill of lies

that I created so I don't feel like I'm over

yeah cause my feet feel like the tightrope I walk

yeah it splits sanity at the eye (???)

and the self I've been obsessed with

well I just found out that it's just my selfish side

yeah it's just my selfish side

I'll leave it all on the street in the winter

oh I'll leave it all in the leaves in the winter

I'll leave it all on the beach in the winter

my feet feel like the tightrope I walk

yeah it splits sanity at the eye (???)

and the self I've been obsessed with

well I just found out that it's just my selfish side

yeah it's just my selfish side
