come here in silence and kiss me quiet lying on the floor
i'm acting dumb like you wanted
but i'm not your kid anymore

i'm not your bastard john
just because i played along
i'm not your bastard john
just because i played along

you're just a comma
you give me pause with your temporary charm
but i'm distorted
can't you see it when i'm underneath you
trying not to look alarmed

i'm not your bastard john
just because i played along
i'm not your bastard john
i'm not your bastard john

so don't try to fake me out
with some bulls*** promise that you didn't have to say
you present to me
just keeps on giving every damn day
