Kill it all away

inside me
it looks after itself
how it feels good when it is praised
feel how it burns when denied

a tiny mistake in the past
probably scarred me for life
come on now, give me back my dagger
so that i could finally kill my pride

so

kill it all away
kill it all away, now
i don't want to live in hatred
i don't want to see it live

help me accept my mistakes

selfishness
kept me from seeing clearly
i didn't know that it was in me
after all these happy years

help me
encourage myself to be stronger
not by looking at those who are weak
but to those who are way better

jealousy versus inspiration

kill it all away (i am not the best of the best)
kill it all away, now (i am not perfect)
i don't want to live in hatred (don't want to be selfish)
i dont want to see it live (not a sucker for attention)

humility versus pride
