Don't Beat Yourself Up

from Veteran Beginners by National Bird

/

lyrics

Consider this a primer for the start of your new life
Please do listen to me we don't got a lot of time
You can have your days but be weary of the night
You will feel the changes when you step into the moonlight
When you step into the moonlight
When you step into the night

And you can try to hide it but there is no way to fight it
So don't beat yourself up

You should spend the night alone
You may wake up far from home

I'm sure you have some questions and I'll try to be of help
This must be the strangest feeling that you've ever felt
You look a little nervous you're not taking this so well
Just don't beat yourself up

You should spend the night alone
You may wake up far from home

When you started out the month you had everything you wanted
Now things are looking hairy and the night feels like it's haunted
You consider giving up cuz you're under attack
Try to fight the cravings and the cravings they'll fight back
And you could come clean, turn yourself in
But that's no guarantee that this won't happen again
So you sleep late, give it some thought
Arm your friends with silver bullets and pray you don't get caught

So you should spend the night alone
You may wake up far from home

This must be the strangest feeling that you've ever felt
Don't beat yourself up
Look a little nervous you're not taking this so well
Don't beat yourself up

You should spend the night alone
You may wake up far from home
