Stay away from me!

If we're the company we keep, then you're nothin' to me
Does that make any sense?
Or do I need to cut closer to the bone to make you understand?
That every word they're saying, it is calculated and planned

Stay away!
I won't hold guilt in my associations
Break away!
I swapped desire for desperation

Or do I need to push further away to finally fucking realise?
That these relationships are full of cowardice and lies

Push! Pull! Push!

We forget their flaws so readily
The distraction is a subtle type of weaponry
We push! We pull!
Our hearts, consumed!

(I lost my balance, I slipped my own mind)
(I lost sight of the self I was trying to find)

A blade in the back, the conscience they lack
Molding the acts of those in line to attack
Overwhelmed again
Enemies closer than friends

Push! Pull! Push!
