lyrics
I'm not giving in
I like how I fall
It's almost real - see, If you squint - well, we look almost together
built a transparent cage
guilt hidden away
and if you look me in the eye, well, you might see right through me
but there's always the bars
there's always my car
I'm 25 my mama told me do whatever I want to
and I'll never give in, not too proud to lie
I'd rather heat an empty cauldron that I'm stirring for no one
Jesus Christ give up the game - you're the only one playing
what the fuck - it's a mystery how you think you know what you're saying
I'm not giving in
I like how I fall
It's almost real - see, If you squint - well, we look almost together
built a transparent cage
guilt hidden away
and if you look me in the eye, well, you might see right through me
but there's always the bars
there's always my car
I'm 25 my mama told me do whatever I want to
and I'll never give in, not too proud to lie
I'd rather heat an empty cauldron that I'm stirring for no one
Jesus Christ give up the game - you're the only one losing
what the fuck - it's a mystery that you still don't know what you're doing
