Pretty Lights - Consequences lyrics

Sorry partner, that's not the way that it works If you're seeking forgiveness at this point, save it for church ‘cause you ain't gonna get it And I can go the distance Tighten my hands around your throat like boa constrictors For disrespecting me to my back You can't pop off and not expect me to react b**h, I was this close to calling you kindred Now I realize I never should have f**ed with you to begin with So watch as a maniacal, wickedly diabolical Pill expert leaves you pharmaceutically comatose Inject your unconscious body with a stronger dose Until your head hurts from all the pressure And you start to choke
