Lyrics for Chinese Burn

I can't break free from the magnets I can't get away from the glue I'm stuck like a fly to the paper I can't get away from you You sure got a lot to learn You sure got a lot to learn You grip so tight You give me a Chinese burn I'm locked in an echo chamber I feel all the same old doubts I bang my head against the soft foam walls Please won't you let me out You sure got a lot to learn You sure got a lot to learn You grip so tight You give me a Chinese burn I see your face in the mirror I pick your skirt from my hair I feel your food trapped under my crown I sense you everywhere You sure got a lot to learn You sure got a lot to learn You grip so tight You give me a Chinese burn
