Pretty Pain

You are exemption
Redemption
A way outside my way
Protection, pretension
The thing that fills my head
Election
Rejection
Confusion in my soul
Protection, protection, protection, protection
You are desire
You are the fire, the fire

And I am at my best then
I'm lying at your feet
Am I just like the rest there?
My pretty pain
And I am at my best then
I'm lying at your feet
Am I just like the rest there?
My pretty pain

I let ya, regret ya
I need you then you're gone
The mention of you sends a fever to my bones
Well I need ya, I see ya, illuminate my goal
Against ya, defend ya, defend ya, defend

And I am at my best then
I'm lying at your feet
Am I just like the rest there?
My pretty pain
And I am at my best then
I'm lying at your feet
Am I just like the rest there?
My pretty pain
My pretty pain

Are we caught up in attraction?
Are we all so self-consumed?
Are we trying to detach from our own minds?
Blinded by emotion, I declare my self-devotion to a lie
Detection, protection
The way outside my way
Connection, connection, connection, connect

And I am at my best then
I'm lying at your feet
Am I just like the rest there?
My pretty pain
And I am at my best then
I'm lying at your feet
Am I just like the rest there?
My pretty pain
