Every day, I'm working, working, working on me
Constantly, I'm holding, holding, holding the beast down
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, oh, hell
I'm shadowboxing myself

I'm paranoid, I'm paralysed
I'm half-alive behind the eye
I'm tipsy, tipping on razor edge
Don't let the lines inside my head
My mother told me, "Let it go
You've done enough, just let it go"
But, every night, I fantasise
Of kissing it just one more time (Oh, oh)

Painted nails and late-night cells
Girls and boys all in Hell
Baby, touch me, let's get ugly
I don't think I'm ready to fall

Every day, I'm working, working, working on me
Constantly, I'm holding, holding, holding the beast down
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, oh, hell
I'm shadowboxing myself
Every day, I'm working, working, working on me
I'm over here just crying, crying, crying the sheets outs
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, oh, hell
I'm shadowboxing myself

I've been dancing, but I can't dance
I'm in fashion, monkey on my back
Every second is a test, and I'll take it
It's a pity, never been an academic

Painted nails and late-night cells
Girls and boys all in Hell
Baby, touch me, let's get ugly
I don't think I'm ready to fall

Every day, I'm working, working, working on me
Constantly, I'm holding, holding, holding the beast down
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, oh, hell
I'm shadowboxing myself
Every day, I'm working, working, working on me
I'm over here just crying, crying, crying the sheets outs
Thought it would be easy, easy, easy to leave
But, oh, hell
I'm shadowboxing myself

Ahh
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Monkey on my back
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) Oh
Bad for my health
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, hell
I'm shadowboxing myself
Ahh
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Monkey on my back
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh) Oh
Bad for my health
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, hell
I'm shadowboxing myself
