Young, dumb, don't see a problem
Bloodshot, stare like a hoodlum
Simple as this: I'm in love with the risk
I know what I've done, but tell me, what did I miss?
So please, don't save something, waste not, save nothing
Lose the halo, don't need to resist
A lick of the lips and a grip on your hips

Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist

First thing we succumb to
Shout, erase, and undo
Days are unreleased if there's no release
Please just let me do whatever fits you
Make something, make someone
Beg on a knee, baby, baby, please
Pout your bottom lip
While cracking the whip
You know what we want
It's candy to cum to

Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist

A total eclipse in the teeth of the risk
The tongue is a twist
Perpetual bliss
Forever midnight
Forever midnight
Forever midnight
Forever...

Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick, sick, sick
Don't resist
Sick sick, sick (I'm gonna take)
Don't resist (I don't wanna choose)
Sick, sick, sick (I'm gonna take)
Don't resist (I don't wanna change)

Sick sick, sick (I'm gonna take)
Don't resist (I don't wanna choose)
Sick, sick, sick (I'm gonna take)
Don't resist (I don't wanna change)
Sick sick, sick (I'm gonna take)
Don't resist (I don't wanna choose)
Sick, sick, sick (I'm gonna take)
Don't resist (I don't wanna change)
