Cease and Desist

[Verse]
Wish I’d get old I need the pension
Or a new invention
I don’t want to win the lottery, if there’s two things I hate
It’s taxes and attention
Fatal intervention
I could take a one-way flight to paradise
But frankly I’m addicted to the tension
‘Cause I’m always beneath someone
So talk to me like I’m worthless
Like I don’t deserve this
Like I was an accident my parents didn’t want and wish you never overheard this
Barely scratch the surface
Likе I’ve been a criminal to you and ll I do is make you
Give up on your purposе
‘Cause I need to believe someone
Lay waste upon my spirit for me

[Pre-Chorus]
Burn your initials in the vein on my wrist
Need something else it can stand for
I saw the vision and I couldn’t resist
These days it’s more like an eyesore

[Chorus]
Don’t say you’ll never hurt me again
Never forget it, I’ll never let it go
Don’t pray ‘cause I don’t want to pretend
I need divine intervention anymore

[Verse]
Wish I had the patience, or the dedication
Wish I had a lick of self control to push away immediate gratification
I need medication, I’d consult my therapist about it
But I doubt it, she got plenty other patients
‘Cause we all need to see someone
So talk like you know what happened, voluntary action
Tell 'em I manipulated you and how you knew there’s no such thing as crime of passion
Get a good reaction
Call me when it’s over like you do
Leave me confused and thinking I can’t fell attraction
And I don’t want to be someone who stays
Waiting on a miracle

[Pre-Chorus]
Your intuition says it doesn’t exist
Still barricading the back door
My new religion’s just a cease and desist
Now I got nothing to die for

[Chorus]
Don’t say you’ll never hurt me again
Never forget it, I’ll never let it go
Don’t pray ‘cause I don’t want to pretend
I need divine intervention anymore

Don’t say you’ll never hurt me again
Never forget it, I’ll never let it go
Don’t pray ‘cause I don’t want to pretend
I need divine intervention anymore
(Anymore, anymore, anymore)
