Don’t Get Close

[Intro]
Come on!

[Verse 1]
Somebody, give me some light
Not pointed into dark
Somebody, show me the end
And I try to push to start
I'm trying to figure out a better way, a better answer
But I keep finding all the problems I've been looking after
You can't wander through the world with nothing but a smile
I'll take your tongue for words and use it to instill denial

[Chorus]
Don't get close
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry will get you somewhere
Rivalry will take you there
Don't get close
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry will get you somewhere
Rivalry will take you there

[Verse 2]
Maybe I should look away before I really miss
Maybe I should pick the time before I pick the place
I bet you all the things that you emulate, you penalize
But I don't wanna go until you learn to finalize

[Chorus]
Don't get close
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry will get you somewhere
Rivalry will take you there
Don't get close
You don't know me and you'll never know
Chivalry will get you somewhere
Rivalry!

[Verse 3]
You ascertain the plot, my vision's overshot
I have the best confessions, I was gone for all the lessons
Who coined these words I use? Stay out and be abused
I didn't want to be the undeniable source of everything

[Refrain]
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close (You'd better stay away)
Don't get close (You'd better stay away)
Don't get close (You'd better stay away)
Don't get close (You'd better stay away!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Waiting, watching all the conflicts
Constrict, just to fit in, squeeze in
I can insist claws and fist
Remember, remember

[Verse 4]
You take the reverent and never make much sense
I have the worst possession, what I want but so obsessive
Come out and be abused 'cause this is so confused
I only want to be left alone and rot away

[Refrain]
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close
Don't get close (You'd better stay away)
Don't get close (You'd better stay away)
Don't get close (You'd better stay away!)
Yeah!
Yeah!
