Tend To Escalate

At some point, my life was going down the drain

Heads or tails—either way, I didn't know how it was gonna end

Nearly threw it all away, for goodness' sake

Counted all my blessings before it was too late

I didn't fall, right or wrong— I wasn't sure where I belonged

When the ground started shaking, my heartbeat was racing

Hit the pedal, full force— there was no ending

In the blink of an eye— a drag, a sip, another lost night

How can I get back from this?

I tend to escalate!

I tend to escalate!

Push it to the limits, never looked back 'till I was finished

When the ground started shaking

And I couldn't stand on the ground anymore

I asked myself a question

What for? Was it all worth it?

To fuck it up to feel like shit in the end

I didn't fall, right or wrong— I wasn't sure where I belonged

When the ground started shaking, my heartbeat was racing

Hit the pedal, full force— there was no ending

In the blink of an eye— a drag, a sip, another lost night

How can I get back from this?

I tend to escalate!

Climbing heights, drunken fights— for Pete's sake!

Home safe and sound, I know I've got a tendency to escalate

I didn't fall, right or wrong— I wasn't sure where I belonged

When the ground started shaking, my heartbeat was racing

Hit the pedal, full force— there was no ending

In the blink of an eye— a drag, a sip, another lost night

How can I get back from this?

I tend to escalate!

I tend to escalate, but I won't stop to make amends the next day

I tend to escalate, but I won't stop to make amends the next day
