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



i'm not your bastard john
