jurisdiction

all i need is a fresh page and a pen

to help me pretend i'm not here

so i don't have to deal with you

i need a different point of view

'cause i don't like the way i see you

and the things you do to me

i didn't ask you for your pain

'cause i don't like that kind of game

and i don't need your extra dilemma

but i'd like to know how far you'd go

for your kind of reason

i'm not part of your jurisdiction

you don't have that power over me

i'm not part of your new religion

i just want the chance to start again

so i can pretend i've never seen you

erase your memory from my brain

i shouldn't have to be the same

so don't ask me to explain

my motivation or my way

but i'd like to know just how far you'd go

for your kind of reason

i'm not part of your jurisdiction

you don't have that power over me

i'm not part of your new religion

and i'll never be

i'm not part of your jurisdiction

you don't have that power over me

i'm not part of your new religion

so i won't lend you my ears to you

or take in anything you do

or watch your own life going down

down

down

but i'd like to know how far you'd go

yes

i'd like to know low you're gonna go

for your kind of treason

i'm not part of your jurisdiction

you've got no power over me

i'm not part of your new religion

and i'll never be

you know that i will never be
