lyrics

If you look peaceful inside - I’ll shake your cage
I’ll pull the strings of your pride - I’ll make you rage
I love to start a good fight I told you so
I’ve got the bait for your bite You can’t let go

Got you wiggle where I want
You love to let me taunt
You think I’m gonna change - NO

I draw you in with my smile, big toothy grin
We haven’t fought for a while, I’m back again
Poke what you wish to be true, your tender place
Joke is I’m fishing for you You take the bait

Reel you up into my spin
You have to enter in
You think you’re gonna win - NO

I smell the blood of your pain - The shark arrives
My job is to entertain - Eat you alive
Then when your wound is exposed - the water’s red
I love the way that it goes - straight to my head

When you struggle to defend
You fall for it again
You think it’s gonna end - NO
Miss you. It’s not about the issue
It’s more about the tissue
The shark is gonna rend - So...

I find where you’re sure that you’re right, and disagree
I lie when the truth is in sight Rewrite history
I still love to start a good fight I told you so
I’ve got the bait for your bite You can’t let go
