It's showering
With the water a little too hot.
It's crossing the street
Without looking.
It's exercising
A little too intense.
It's smoking
One more cigarette than you really need.
It's eating or drinking
To the point of almost puking.
It's self-destruction
The worst kind.

Self-Destruction
It's showering
With the water a little too hot.
It's crossing the street
Without looking.
It's exercising
A little too intense.
It's smoking
One more cigarette than you really need.
It's eating or drinking
To the point of almost puking.
It's self-destruction
The worst kind.
