Lyrics
Verse 1
here we go again
family dynamics
control manipulation
cosplayin dysfunctional by choice?
feed that ego
go go go
I've gotten wiser
silence protective peace
baiting reactions
water off a duck's
back?
Pre-Chorus
block in attacks
not giving my energy back
I see the pattern now
I don't chase it down
Disassociation?
you bet
minimal energy output
(at best?)
Chorus
go go go
go go go
water off a duck's back
I keep my peace
I keep my space
go go go
go go go
feed that ego
I won't play
water off a duck's back
Verse 2
same old script
same old grin
new disguise
same old spin
I used to fold
I used to flare
now I move like
I'm barely there
block in attacks
let them miss
I don't hand you
what you twist
Pre-Chorus
I've gotten wiser
I don't lean in
silent and steady
that's where I win
Disassociation?
you bet
minimal energy output
(at best?)
Chorus
go go go
go go go
water off a duck's back
I keep my peace
I keep my space
go go go
go go go
feed that ego
I won't play
water off a duck's back
Bridge
If you want a reaction
you won't get one here
I built my boundaries
through the noise and fear
I choose my calm
I choose my breath
I leave the old game
to talk to itself
Final Chorus
go go go
go go go
water off a duck's back
I keep my peace
I keep my space
go go go
go go go
feed that ego
I won't play
water off a duck's back
