Lyrics Vicious cycle Set It Off

Vicious cycle

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

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 ever 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

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

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

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
