[Verse 1: Tades Sanville & Chris Freeman]
Did someone tell me to slow down
Or am I starting to come to my senses?
Self-control takes some practice
Testing the water is foolish
Find me as I'm drowning in it
Climb the rope just to fall back in
And I'm not sick or a victim
'Cause when I start I know how it'll finish
Self-control takes some practice
Itching to not think about it
Buried there in my genetics
Cast in stone
[Verse 2: Tades Sanville & Chris Freeman]
And I don't want to fall further from grace
But I can't stand upright
Red face, cold bones
Used to help me when I couldn't fall asleep
But now I'm up all night
Lost keys, ripped clothes
Everyonе else seems to know when to brеathe
But I can't stop once I've choked down a couple of drinks
I don't mention it in front of family
'Cause I don't want them to know
Just die alone
[Chorus: Tades Sanville & Chris Freeman]
Self-control takes some practice
Takes some practice
Climb the rope just to fall back in
Just to fall back in
Self-control takes some practice
Takes some practice
Cast in stone, but I don't want to fall
