12 Step Programs Lyrics - Eleventy Seven

I've tried to do this on my own 

Without the help of telephones 

The only place I need to be 

Is right here where I'm forced to see that 

I can fight against disease 

Or let it take me out to sea 

Either way I just might drown 

But I'd rather swim than hit the ground 

I'm willing now to do what it takes to see 

That the boy looking back in the mirror isn't me 

So take back your 12 step self help programs 

And let me tell you all about how 

It was self that got me here in the first place 

And self that taught me how to replace 

Everything I know with every other option 

But the only right way to go 

Yeah I'm pretty sure that now it shows 

I could never see far past my nose 

And I'm almost positive these pills 

Are the only thing that ever made me ill so 

I'll make it through another week 

Despite the fact that I can't sleep 

The only problem I can see 

Is this is not who I'm meant to be and 

I'm ready now to do what it takes to see 

That the boy looking back in the mirror isn't me 

The only I have to hold to is a promise 

You put another life inside of me 

That's not my own 

So take back all your self help programs
