Every day I'm working, working, working on me

Constantly I'm holding, holding, holding the beast down

Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave

But ah hell, I'm shadowboxing myself

I'm paranoid

I'm paralysed

I'm half alive behind the eyes

I'm tipsy, tipping on razor edge

Don't let the lines inside my head

My mother told me let It go

You've done enough, just let it go

But every night I fantasize of kissing it just one more time

Painted nails and late night sales

Girls and boys all in hell

Baby, touch me, let's get ugly

I don't think I'm ready to fall

Every day I'm working, working, working on me

Constantly I'm holding, holding, holding the beast down

Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave

But ah hell, I'm shadowboxing myself

Every day I'm working, working, working on me

I'm over here just crying, crying, crying the sheets down

Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave

But ah hell, I'm shadowboxing myself

I've been dancing, but I can't dance

I'm in fashion, monkey on my back

Every second is a test and I'll take it

It's a pity, never been an academic

Painted nails and late night sales

Girls and boys all in hell

Baby, touch me, let's get ugly

I don't think I'm ready to fall

Every day I'm working, working, working on me

Constantly I'm holding, holding, holding the beast down

Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave

But ah hell, I'm shadowboxing myself

Every day I'm working, working, working on me

I'm over here just crying, crying, crying the sheets down

Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave

But ah hell, I'm shadowboxing myself

Monkey on my back

Bad for my health

But ah hell, I'm shadowboxing myself

Monkey on my back

Mm, bad for my health

Ah hell, I'm shadowboxing myself
