Treat Infamy
Rest Assured Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm feeling bitter, I'm feeling sweet
Somehow my life is just incomplete
My head's so busy, my body's high
I think I understand this feeling inside
I know I'm ready and I wanna go
Get on a roll like a rolling stone
If I can wait then there will be

A little treat infamy
A little treat infamy
A little treat infamy
A little treat infamy

(A little treat infamy)
(A little treat infamy)

(A little treat infamy)
(A little treat infamy)
