Pretty Pain

you are exemption
 redemption
 a way outside my way
 pretension, pretension
 the thing that fills my head
 election
 rejection
 confusion in my soul
 protection , protection, protection, protection
 you are desire
 you are the fire, the fire

 and i am at my best then
 i’m lying at your feet
 am i just like the rest there?
 my pretty pain
 and i am at my best then
 i’m lying at your feet
 am i just like the rest there?
 my pretty pain

 i let ya, regret ya
 i need you then you’re gone
 the mention of you sends a fever to my bones
 well i need ya, i see ya, illuminate my goal
 against ya, defend ya, defend ya, defend

 and i am at my best then
 i’m lying at your feet
 am i just like the rest there?
 my pretty pain
 and i am at my best then
 i’m lying at your feet
 am i just like the rest there?
 my pretty pain

 are we caught up in attraction?
 are we all so self-consumed?
 are we trying to detach from our own minds?
 blinded by emotion, i declare my self-devotion to a lie
 detection, protection
 the way outside my way
 connection, connection, connection, connect

 and i am at my best then
 i’m lying at your feet
 am i just like the rest there?
 my pretty pain
 and i am at my best then
 i’m lying at your feet
 am i just like the rest there?
 my pretty pain
