I keep my mouth sewn shut What a wise man I've become Teeth marks in my tongue 'Cause there ain't nobody I trust And I know (they're climbing up, they're climbin') The higher they get the further they'll fall So I pull (I'm pullin' up, I'm pullin') We hard as I can just to sever the rope I won't give them the chance to bring me down Fool me once, fool me twice No reply Parasites got an appetite for me See the hype so they climb My golden vine Parasites got an appetite for me I won't give them the satisfaction Fool me once, fool me twice You'll pay the price Paradise ain't the place you wanna find me I gotta pick and choose who to lose I'm walking through a spiderweb Like it's a noose And it ain't ever coming loose I'm turning blue Here we go, there ain't nobody I trust And I know (they're climbing up, they're climbin') The higher they get the further they'll fall So I pull (I'm pullin' up, I'm pullin') We hard as I can just to sever the rope Fool me once, fool me twice No reply Parasites got an appetite for me See the hype so they climb My golden vine Parasites got an appetite for me I won't give them the satisfaction Fool me once, fool me twice You'll pay the price Paradise ain't the place you wanna find me You feel attached Your bond aligned You're draining me Of what you can find (slowly) I break away I run and hide I got a parasite in my life So I'm cutting ties Stay in my own forever What a lonely grave where you'll never Fool me once, fool me twice No reply Parasites got an appetite for me See the hype so they climb My golden vine Parasites got an appetite for me I won't give them the satisfaction Fool me once, fool me twice You'll pay the price Paradise ain't the place you wanna find me Fool me once, fool me twice You'll pay the price You'll pay the price
