Today is... - The Cycle Lyrics

He cut the power lines
While you were sleeping
And like a whirlwind
Ransacked the place
Left your basement flooded
And destroyed
Everything in it

And you cut his brakes
While he was dreaming of keying your car
And like a storm drain
Collected all of his trash
And stored it behind the bar that he frequents daily
And you start to believe
That maybe this isn't that bad

The cycle
The circle of revenge
Has never been more of a trend
That you wanna follow
The means justify the end
And that he's happy
Being the cat in your charade
Of friendly misplaced anecdotes
As the lights fall off the stage

You sit in silence
As he's driving you home
From another f*cked up date night
Hey There Delilah
Plays on the radio
Before you shut it off
To try to keep the anger
You shed a tear

And he grips the steering wheel
Trying not to swerve into oncoming traffic
To feel
Anything
And he's trying to remember the times
But they're all just sex and nothing of substance
And he starts to believe
That maybe this is that bad

The cycle
The circle of revenge
Has never been more of a trend
That you wanna follow
The means justify the end
And that he's happy
Being the cat in your charade
Of friendly misplaced anecdotes
As the lights fall off the stage

Maybe
We should take a break
(He says as he breaks the silence)
And she says yeah, maybe we should
They're crying now as they know they're done for good

The cycle
The circle of revenge
Has never been more of a trend
That you wanna follow
The means justify the end
And that he's happy
Being the cat in your charade
Of friendly misplaced anecdotes
As the lights fall off the stage
The cycle
The circle of amends
Has never been more of a trend
That you wanna follow
The means justify the end
And you're happy
Being the mouse in his charade
Of friendly misplaced anecdotes
As the lights fall off the stage
To where they're standing
