Lyrics

I'm feeling safer inside
But still, I've been forewarned
Am I as crazy as I always thought I was?
And so I search for a sign
Like the first time that I knew I'd overcome
What the demon held and waved right in my face
Or the last time that I had to let you know
That I could take it or leave it
Or that one time that I asked for you to show
So that I'd better believe it
I wanna eat well, I wanna sleep well
Discipline my body, achieve a state of mind
And if I stay up late, no one to feel my pain
I'm gonna dip my body into an ice-cold lake
The meat clings to the bone—
You tell me this for a reason
There's a furnace that burns hotter than the sun
I think I'm accident-prone
Like the first time that I knew I'd took too much
It was too late and there was nothing I could do
I was three steps too far in front of myself
Thought I was having a moment
Still, there's comfort in this hand upon my chest—
I'm going back to basics
I wanna eat well, I wanna sleep well
Discipline my body, achieve a state of mind
And if I stay up late, no one to feel my pain
I'm gonna dip my body into an ice-cold lake
My worries are a constant and now part of my design
Shining, but the core is rotten deep to the inside
Stronger with each question that I ask—
Is this enough to take?
I'm going back to the basics, but I don't think I can face it
I will learn to utilise, the clock strikes one
And now I know I can shake it
I wanna eat well, I wanna sleep well
Discipline my body, achieve a state of mind
And if I stay up late, no one to feel my pain
I'm gonna dip my body into an ice-cold lake
I'm going back to the basics, and I'm gonna embrace it
Going back to the basics—always knew I would make it
Going back to the basics—now I know I can shake it
Going back to the basics
Going back to the basics
