lyrics
Justified/ jeers from the culprit
Don’t bat an eye/ Just go along with it
Regress down to my self defense
A kind of lock-jaw cannot shake it and
This constant push-down really starts to bite
Its agonizing and I cannot, I
Can’t deny no
Can’t suppress again
Can’t repeat no
Can’t repress again
Stay composed in a well oiled machine
Of the same damn broken wretched things
Find yourself aligned with the sick disease
Of the same damn broken wretched things
Transfixed once again/ its known
That I own what I permit and you
won’t forgive/ while I don’t forget
An age old tale that will never end
We’ll bend the frame/ until it fits/ you will
Inch your way into the common wound
A dreadful glimpse
Into a sea of certainty, I’ll
Simply sit/ as the cycle repeats
Same suit, same gaze, but a different name
I fell into another sadist’s game
The pressure builds
So be a good girl, bow your head
Stay composed
Stay composed
