My stomach is in knots
And it's not because my balance is off
And if I trip you know it's not my fault
I'll just blame my circumstances
No one stands by my side
And I've finally figured out why
I've been impossible my whole life
My past is controlling my present
If these bonds are just a bomb
Then I'm the wick
And when the sparks fly I'll explode
And most times I'll provide the flint
Rocks thrown in glass houses will leave cracks
And my words will shatter what we've built and
I can't take it back
No, I can't take it back
I'm turning into what I said I'd never be
When I look in the mirror there's half my father staring back at me
But this is my life not his
And I hate that I can't tell the difference
My past is controlling my present
If these bonds are just a bomb
Then I'm the wick
And when the sparks fly I'll explode
And most time I'll provide the flint
And when the sparks fly I'll explode
And most times I'll provide the flint
Some days I've got a devil for each shoulder
Some days it feels like no one stands by my side
Some days I've got a devil for each shoulder
Some days it feels like
Bad habits use to give me some relief
If it's in my blood then I guess it's my destiny
But I don't feel any less alone
After I've said all the things I didn't mean
To my friends and you
The ones who mean the most
My past is controlling my present
If these bonds are just a bomb
Then I'm the wick
And when the sparks fly I'll explode
And most times I'll provide the flint
And it's not because my balance is off
And if I trip you know it's not my fault
I'll just blame my circumstances
No one stands by my side
And I've finally figured out why
I've been impossible my whole life
My past is controlling my present
If these bonds are just a bomb
Then I'm the wick
And when the sparks fly I'll explode
And most times I'll provide the flint
Rocks thrown in glass houses will leave cracks
And my words will shatter what we've built and
I can't take it back
No, I can't take it back
I'm turning into what I said I'd never be

And most time I'll provide the flint
And when the sparks fly I'll explode
