Why do you pick

Jordane Garrity 1994 (Alaska)

You know what I dont get?
Why you sit there and pick?
You know it makes you look mentally sick

You snap back and act like a crazy prick
Maybe if you learn how to quit
you'll be a little less of a dick
But I know that's not something your willing to admit
I know its your nervous tick
But don't you want to quit?
Self control only takes a little bit
Just gotta give yourself a little kick
