I can't put my finger on exactly what you do to me
I am unable to pinpoint the exact impact you have on me
but i'll fight with a broken arm do my best to get you off
I will go to extreme lengths to rid myself of your hold
fuck! i'll do it all myself
I am willing to handle this on my own, no matter the cost
i can't believe that you'd be the death of me
It is unfathomable that you would be the cause of my demise
trade your morals for gold and strangle, tight!
You have exchanged your values for wealth and oppress me relentlessly
what keeps you up at night
What troubles you during sleepless nights
i found the perfect pawn to get me all i want
I have found someone naive enough to assist me in achieving my desires
and now i'll piss it all away
I will recklessly squander everything I have gained
i can't believe that you'd be the death of me
It is unfathomable that you would be the cause of my demise
i can't decide what is it you hope to find
I am uncertain of what you expect to discover
peace of mind? a way out?
Are you seeking internal peace or an escape from your current situation?
