Vicious Cycle Lyrics by Afterlife

Vicious Cycle

2016

[Intro]
(The pain, the lies)
(I can see it, I can see it in your eyes)
(The pain the lies I can see it)
I can see it in your eyes!
(The pain, the lies)
(I can see it, I can see it in your eyes)
(The pain the lies I can see it)

[Verse 1]
Don't bite the hand that feeds
I can promise that you’ll always need me
Your kiss (Your kiss)
Your touch (Your touch)
It was never enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting and waiting and contemplating
These pessimistic thoughts are the only things
That I'm thinking god forgive me
I keep on self-medicating
It's not like I can stop
You don't know what I'm feeling

[Chorus]
You build me up
Just to tear me back down
Full circle going round and round
You build me up
Just to tear me back down
Full circle going round and round
I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't eat
Done with these things that you're doing to me

[Verse 2]
Dig, dig your nails into me
Clawing at my skin can't you let me be?
Do I need it? do I need it? Yes, I do!
Your body, your soul
Give me your mind
I need total control
You never use it, watch me abuse it
Make you pay for the life that you ruined

[Breakdown]
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out

[Pre-Chorus]
Waiting and waiting and contemplating
These pessimistic thoughts are the only things
That I'm thinking god forgive me
I keep on self-medicating
It's not like I can stop
You don't know what I'm feeling
You don’t know

[Chorus]
You build me up
Just to tear me back down
Full circle going round and round
You build me up
Just to tear me back down
Full circle going round and round
I can't sleep, I can't think, I can't eat
Done with these things that you're doing to me

[Outro]
Tear me back down
Full circle going round and round
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
Let the poison out
