Out to Get Me
Trapped in Their Grasp
Lyrics
They're out get me, I can't escape 'cause' they won't let me
They are actively pursuing me, and I feel trapped because they refuse to release me.
They won't forget me, They'll get me in their grip and sweat me
They will not forget about me; they intend to grasp me tightly and put me under pressure.
They'll wait me out, and then move in under my skin
They will patiently wait for an opportunity and then infiltrate beneath my defenses.
They'll make me doubt, They're out to make me let them in
They will instill doubt in me; their goal is to make me succumb and allow them entry.
I can't escape them, there's nowhere I can run and hide
Escape is impossible; there is nowhere I can flee or conceal myself.
Make one mistake and, that's when they work their way inside
Even a single mistake is an opening for them to penetrate and influence me from within.
They'll try and take me, they'll break me down and suck me dry
They will attempt to seize me, break me down emotionally, and drain me completely.
I can't' let them shape me, they'll make me up and make me cry
I must resist allowing them to shape my identity; otherwise, they will fabricate a false version of me, leading to emotional distress.
