Self-Destructing Man

You'll feel in jail, underwater Papa said if you stay The truth didn't hit me Til I got off the train What happened next I could have never foreseen Yet so many in history have seen similar things They said run run, as fast as you can Cause you can't help a self-destructing man He'll keep you from the ones who truly love you To bring you into his world of anger and solitude Hoping you'd be so frail that you couldn't walk away So he could hide his demons in a loving heartspace Run run, as fast as you can Cause you can't help a self-destructing man Accept this truth, accept the color of his leaf Let him fall from your branches so you can be free Trust the ones who love you to show you light Reflect back your colors pull you back up to life Run run, as fast as you can Cause you can't help a self-destructing man
