If you face me, then you lose
Don't say I should, 'cause I just refuse
To go from a king back to a slave
I make my way in this world 'cause I misbehave
I don't go where I should go
I know more than I should know
It tears me up pretty good, oh
I like it more than I should though
If I go, we all go
My soul is a black hole
Swallows my own goals
Still wins the whole show
You say you're not my enemy
Well then, you must be caught in the in between
You don't wanna know what I mean
You should and shouldn't forget what you've seen
I don't go where I should go
I know more than I should know
It tears me up pretty good, oh
I like it more than I should though
If I go, we all go
My soul is a black hole
Swallows my own goals
Still wins the whole show
If I go
We all go
I don't go where I should go
I know more than I should know
It tears me up pretty good, oh
I like it more than I should though
If I go
We all go
