[Verse 1]
I keep my mouth sewn shut
What a wise man I’ve become
Teeth marks in my tongue
'Cause there ain’t nobody I trust (Nope)

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know (They’re climbin' up, they’re climbin')
The higher they get the further they’ll fall
So I pull (I’m pullin', up I’m pullin')
As hard as I can just to sever the rope
(I won't give them the chance to bring me down)

[Chorus]
Fool me once, fool me twice, no reply
Parasites got an appetite for me
See the hype so they climb my goldеn vine
Parasites got an appetitе for me
I won’t give them the satisfaction
Fool me once, fool me twice, you’ll pay the price
Paradise ain’t the place you wanna find me

[Verse 2]
I gotta pick and choose who to lose
I’m walking through a spiderweb like it’s a noose
And it ain’t ever coming loose, I’m turning blue
Oh, here we go, there ain’t nobody I trust
[Pre-Chorus]
And I know (They’re climbin' up, they’re climbin')
The higher they get the further they’ll fall
So I pull (I’m pullin', up I’m pullin')
As hard as I can just to sever the rope (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Fool me once, fool me twice, no reply
Parasites got an appetite for me
See the hype so they climb my golden vine
Parasites got an appetite for me
I won’t give them the satisfaction
Fool me once, fool me twice, you’ll pay the price
Paradise ain’t the place you wanna find me

[Bridge]
You feel attached
Your bond aligned (Yeah)
You’re draining me
Of what you can find (Slowly)
I break away
I run and hide
I got a parasite in my life
So I’m cutting ties

Stay in my own forever
What a lonely grave where you’ll never
[Chorus]
Fool me once, fool me twice, no reply
Parasites got an appetite for me
See the hype so they climb my golden vine
Parasites got an appetite for me
I won’t give them the satisfaction
Fool me once, fool me twice, you’ll pay the price
Paradise ain’t the place you wanna find me

[Outro]
Fool me once, fool me twice, you’ll pay the price
You'll pay the price
