Vicious Cycle Lyrics by 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 *** 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 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 *** 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
Right back, right back
Right back, right back
Right back, right back
Right back, right back
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”
*** 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
