Not a Threat (or something like one)

[hook] and if everything is never enough and if nothing is too much… [verse1] ask yourself what will satisfy your hunger, your thirst, and your heart’s desire you owe yourself that one answer [chorus] it’s a warning, not a threat can you be more than you are today? it’s a warning, not a threat [verse 2] is it possible? last year I wouldn’t have known what to say I’m still searching like a detective rooting through the rubbish for those prized and shiny clues even the stupid ghosts who told me I was defective recently had to shut the fuck up [chorus] it’s a warning, not a threat [bridge] but how much of their lies were covered in a grain of truth? am I still the defect in society or am I really “the cure”? which voices are the best to listen to? [chorus] it’s a warning, not a threat [verse 3] and when I clash with someone, why do they reach straight for my frailty? sometimes I could be comfortable enough to use my venom but I’m less of a viper than I give myself credit for it’s a warning, not a threat I’m not a bee — I won’t die if I sting you back but I’m not interested in winning just to win I’m interested in winning for the better I won’t even play a game that’s not worth playing or winning [chorus] it’s a warning, not a threat [outro] they play too much with me acting like they hold the upper hand nothing’s wrong with saying “don’t tread on me” it’s a warning, not a threat
