Vicious Cycle Lyrics – Set It Off

[Verse 1]
Looking left and right, anywhere but inside
Where the demons dance with my dark desires, yeah
Such a shame, it’s really pitiful
That you would fu*k up something beautiful
Weaving every word that I want to hear
Like a symphony passing through my ears
I’m in a state of sleep paralysis
But wide awake and feeling powerless, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m pretending I can’t read the writing on the wall

[Chorus]
Can’t resist
You got me in a vice-like grip, I can’t escape it
Every time you pull me right back, right back
A vicious cycle
‘Round-and-round, it’s never ending
Can’t get out, it’s suffocating
Every time you pull me right back, right back
A vicious cycle

[Verse 2]
Caught in a slasher film and it never ends
I escaped you once, but we’ll meet again, yeah
I went from optimist to cynical
From unpredictable to typical
‘Cause we carved our name in sand
And we can see the tide is rolling in
There’s only one way to kill this trend
And it isn’t screaming with these stitched-up lips

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m pretending I can’t read the writing on the wall

[Chorus]

Can’t resist
You got me in a vice-like grip, I can’t escape it
Every time you pull me right back, right back
A vicious cycle
‘Round-and-round, it’s never ending
Can’t get out, it’s suffocating
Every time you pull me right back, right back
A vicious cycle

[Post-Chorus]
Right back, right back
Right back, right back
Right back, right back
Right back, right back

[Bridge]
Someone shake me awake
Say I didn’t cause it all
Would you save me or shame me?
Save your “I told you so’s”
Kill dependence, it’s ending, I’m getting what I want
Now I’m facing and changing the writing on the wall

[Chorus]
Can’t resist
You got me in a vice-like grip, I can’t escape it
Every time you pull me right back, right back
A vicious cycle
‘Round-and-round, it’s never ending
Can’t get out, it’s suffocating
Every time you pull me right back, right back
A vicious cycle
