LYRICS
You keep showing up everywhere I look
Hoping I’ll approach your shiny bait and bite the hook
Time is slowing down knowing I will have to fight
Knowing you’ll be throwing everything to your delight

Happiness you promise
Promising you’re honest

Your thoughts were never mine
Your words have lost their shine
The cure does not exist
Or your face will meet my

Stop telling me what I need
Your thoughts were never mine
Stop selling the same old thing
Your words have lost their shine
Stop selling me empty hopes
The cure does not exist
Quit yelling, it’s not my dream
Your face will meet my

Oh, I’m sorry if I’m a bit hesitant
But you come across as a cheap arrogant
I’ve a precedent with this sentiment
Your words have lost their resonance

Even though I’ve been walking this same road before
It’s still hard for me to steer away
I’m not sure where to run, where to hide or to make a detour
Just keep pushing, I’ll promise you there’ll be a war

But I will admit you’re good at what you do
I’m not afraid of telling that to you
Just wish was something that I knew

Stop telling me what I need
Your thoughts were never mine
Stop selling the same old thing
Your words have lost their shine
Stop selling me empty hopes
The cure does not exist
Quit yelling, it’s not my dream
Your face will meet my

Stop telling me what I need
Stop selling the same old thing
Stop selling me empty hopes
Quit yelling, it’s not my
Or your face will meet my fist

Your face will meet my fist
Alright listen

Happiness you promise
Promising you’re honest
You’re the one who profits
Promising you’re
Or your face will meet my

Stop telling me what I need
Your thoughts were never mine
Stop selling the same old thing
Your words have lost their shine
Stop selling me empty hopes
The cure does not exist
Quit yelling, it’s not my
Or your face will meet my fist
