Lay the first strike
Because you just
Want to cause a scene
Once so gentle, serene
You kept taking my
Energy
Taking all the weight
Pushing on my shoulders
You kept on crushing
Me
I don’t know who
Gets to suffer worst
Because I'm out of breath
And I'm nowhere near first
And where are you?
You’re nowhere to be seen
You’re hiding,
Complacent, living like
Everyone owns you
Every explanation
Even if you
Never gave them
Anything in return
Simmer down,
Because karma’s
Gonna get you first
Treat people without
their worth
And they’ll be the ones
To leave you first
So lay the first strike,
I don’t wanna hear
Any of it
You’ve taken my energy,
But not everything
Is gone,
and ripped in pieces
Simmer down
Because karma’s
A silent enemy,
That doesn’t
Give up, no.

Lay the first strike
Because you just

Once so gentle, serene
You kept taking my

You kept on crushing

Because I'm out of breath
And I'm nowhere near first
And where are you?
You’re nowhere to be seen
You’re hiding,
Complacent, living like
Everyone owns you

Even if you
Never gave them
Anything in return
Simmer down,
Because karma’s
Gonna get you first
Treat people without

And they’ll be the ones
To leave you first
So lay the first strike,

You’ve taken my energy,
But not everything
Is gone,
and ripped in pieces
Simmer down
Because karma’s
A silent enemy,
That doesn’t
Give up, no.
