lyrics

You can't phase me
You're crazy
I won't let you get to me
You can't stop me
Don't mock me
You just cannot get through see
I am better
A go-getter
I can do without bickering
You are calling
I'm not falling
For more of your trickery

I guess by now I probably shoulda learned my lesson
The answer so apparent that I no longer question
But I still fall into the trap from time to time
But that's perfectly fine, it's my mind to bind
Sometimes you just need some relief from the routine
So I'll take the pain to feel something, jump into the machine
Till the grinding gears chew on me, started as a dream
And now the grass is blood red not pristine green
The trumpet just sounded, think I heard a voice
Could barely make it out; telling me I have a choice
Kept watch on the situation, the move was clear
Eyes glued to the devatation of the hope I held dear
Worst fear came to pass, obvious, I'm oblivious
Here's the deep end and I don't want to fall into this
I'm not shallow, I didn't even get into the pool
Diving ain't my style man, cause I wont play the fool

You can't phase me
You're crazy
I won't let you get to me
You can't stop me
Don't mock me
You just cannot get through see
I am better
A go-getter
I can do without bickering
You are calling
I'm not falling
For more of your trickery

They wanted me to dive in, go six feet deep
When I peered over the edge, started to shuffle my feet
I was ready for the fall but instead chose to retreat
Not even out of fear, felt like going back to sleep
It seemed a wise decision as my foot is made of lead
The lack of oxygen tends to leave most people dead
So I fled, what, looked at her agenda; saw the roots
She thought that she was clever crafting cement boots
Balls and chains, torture things that would lead to my demise
She caught a glimpse of dread when she looked into my eyes
I despise to think of those who jump head first
They wind up tangled in her web, left for dead or worse
A parade of past lovers, everyone will cheer
They used to kiss you, now they're plagued with fear
I feel bad for them, I made a quick escape
Got out before you clawed for your prize; a piece of heart to take

You can't phase me
You're crazy
I won't let you get to me
You can't stop me
Don't mock me
You just cannot get through see
I am better
A go-getter
I can do without bickering
You are calling
I'm not falling
For more of your trickery (x2)
