[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm pretending I can't read the writing on the wall

[Chorus]

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 cyclе

'Round-and-round, it's never ending

Can't gеt out, it's suffocating

Every time you pull me right back, right back

A vicious cycle

[Verse 2]

Caught in a slasher film and it never 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

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm pretending I can't read the writing on the wall

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

Right back, right back

Right back, right back

Right back, right back

Right back, right back

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
