Lyrics: Pep Talk

I'll love an incurable mess 'cause I like to tidy up

No blames and "explain it away"s, they are pouring from my cup

Rebounds always running me down like a lion on the plains

But this fate is its own escape, so I, I just stand in place


And now I find I'm waking up at sunrise, and just lying in bed

Giving myself a pep talk to survive the day lying ahead

My past is a whiskey glass tipping down a drunkard's throat

I can't claim I was ever ashamed when I drank the antidote


And now I find I'm waking up at sunrise, and just lying in bed

Giving myself a pep talk to survive the day lying ahead

But they make, they make no difference

When all of the colors blend into black

And if I raise the stakes and step out

Out on the ledge, you gotta pull me back


'Cause they make, they make no difference

Feeling the levee starting to crack

And if I raise the stakes and step out

Out on the ledge, I'm never coming back


And they make, they make no difference

When all of the colors blend into black

And if I raise the stakes and step out

Out on the ledge, you gotta pull me back

You gotta pull me back
