Lyrics

The first degree was a riot
You were making sure
My lesson's learned
I'm not ashamed but I'm trying
I've come to expect the standards you have set..
Tell me just how dangerous is second best
You've settled for less and I'm sure you'll settle again

There's no stopping me
I'm gutting you out (does this make you feel safe)
There's no stopping this..
I'm gutting you out (does this make you feel safe)

The closer that I look is just the further that you get
Already stubborn skin thickens
In attempt to understand
Understand

There's no stopping me
I'm gutting you out (does this make you feel safe)
There's no stopping this..
I'm gutting you out (does this make you feel safe)

You got tired (got tired)
Of waiting around (of waiting)
When the guilt subsides well the night begins..
And I know its not what you deserve

Came as a gift from a good friend (a good friend)
That disapproves
But understands
That you represent
And actively encourage
All of my worst habits
They all are proof
That we're both capable of the most terrible things
"Don't test me!"

There's no stopping me
I'm gutting you out (does this make you feel safe)
There's no stopping this..
I'm gutting you out (does this make you feel safe)

You got tired (got tired)
Of waiting around (of waiting)
The guilt subsides well the night begins..
And I know its not what you deserve (x2)

Well I know its not what you deserve (its not what you deserve)
Well I know its not what you deserve (well I know its not what you deserve)
