vicious cycle

Set It Off

Looking left and right
Anywhere but inside
Where the demons dance with my dark desires
Yeah
Such a shame, it s really pitiful
That you would fuck up something beautiful

Weaving every word that I want to hear
Like a symphony passing through my ears
I m in a state of sleep paralysis
But wide awake and feeling powerless
Yeah

I m pretending I can t read the writing on the wall

Can t resist
You got me in a vice-like grip
I can t escape it
Every time you pull me right back
Right back, a vicious cycle

Round and round, it s never-ending
Can t get out, it s suffocating
Every time you pull me right back
Right back, a vicious cycle

Caught in a slasher film and it ever ends
I escaped you once, but we ll meet again
Yeah
I went from optimist to cynical
From unpredictable to typical

Cause we carved our name in sand
And we can see the tide is rolling in
There s only one way to kill this trend
And it isn t screaming with these stitched-up lips

I m pretending I can t read the writing on the wall

Can t resist
You got me in a vice-like grip
I can t escape it
Every time you pull me right back
Right back, a vicious cycle
Round and round, it s never-ending
Can t get out, it s suffocating
Every time you pull me right back
Right back, a vicious cycle

Someone, shake me awake
Say I didn t cause it all
Would you save me or shame me?
Save your I told you so s
Kill dependence, it s ending, I m getting what I want
Now I m facing and changing the writing on the wall

Can t resist
You got me in a vice-like grip
I can t escape it
Every time you pull me right back
Right back, a vicious cycle

Round and round, it s never ending
Can t get out, it s suffocating
Every time you pull me right back
Right back, a vicious cycle
