Predator
First I am spotted across the room
Sussed out for the degree of naivety
When I make the cut, then all systems go
And you take your first step toward me
My eyes are invitations
My welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My honesty is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is dying to be discerning
Your system of madness
To mimic connection
Then you engender my trust as you pounce
You isolate and then divert attention
Distract from deception
Keep me in the dark
My eyes are invitations
My welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My kindness is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is trying to be discerning
You kept me off balance
With your charming deflection
You kept me distracted
Couldn't pick this apart
What started as union turned to isolation
And you are obsessed with your prey
My eyes are invitations
My welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My trust is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is learning to be discerning
Oh-oh
Sussed out for the degree of naivety
When I make the cut, then all systems go
And you take your first step toward me
My eyes are invitations
My welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My honesty is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is dying to be discerning
Your system of madness
To mimic connection
Then you engender my trust as you pounce
You isolate and then divert attention
Distract from deception
Keep me in the dark
My eyes are invitations
My welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My kindness is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is trying to be discerning
You kept me off balance
With your charming deflection
You kept me distracted
Couldn't pick this apart
What started as union turned to isolation
And you are obsessed with your prey
My eyes are invitations
My welcome sign is bright
My armor is porous enough to be worked by your design
My trust is commendable but won't pull your heartstrings
This magnet for predators is learning to be discerning
Oh-oh
