Me Against Myself
Words & Music by Chloé Temtchine

If I took a trip to another state of mind
Would I lose myself between the lines?
Of what I know and answers I can’t find
Could I leave it all behind?

I know superstition ain’t feeding
Knock on the door three times just to be
Safe in my fantasy
Running from myself running from me

A faded smile a blank stare
Throw my hands up in the air
When it’s more than I can bear

I lie beneath the covers in my bed
Try to calm the noise in my head
Can’t blame no one else
I’m only up against myself
And when it’s my reflection that I see
When I find that I’ve become my worst enemy
I try acting like somebody else
To find it’s me against myself
It’s only me against myself

My shoulder’s stiff from being who I’m not
Every time I try to play the hand I got
I fight this war of who to be
Spitting image spitting back at me

And I’ve broken boundaries that I’ve made
My inner view is hazy and grey
How am I gonna win the game I play
When I’m the one getting in my way

A faded smile a blank stare
Throw my hands up in the air
When it’s more than I can bear

I lie beneath the covers in my bed
Try to calm the noise in my head
Can’t blame no one else
I’m only up against myself
And when it’s my reflection that I see
When I find that I’ve become my worst enemy
I try acting like somebody else
To find it’s me against myself

Self-pity is magnified
I can’t untie this knot inside
It’s part of the ride
It’s on me to hold my ground
Can’t let those voices bring me down
No no no

I lie beneath the covers in my bed
Try to calm the noise in my head
Can’t blame no one else
I’m only up against myself
And when it’s my reflection that I see
When I find that I’ve become my worst enemy
I try acting like somebody else
To find it’s me against myself
It’s only me against myself
