[Verse 1]
Feels familiar
When the knife gets buried into my beating heart
Then I come to
Bloody, bruised, and cursing my own naiveté

I was on an empty beach
On a screaming all-time low
I remember meeting you and sharing all these injustices
Let me help she said

[Pre-Chorus]
I shoulda known better
I know
I shoulda known better
Yeah I know

[Chorus]
I was your friend and ended up your victim, victim
I was your friend and ended up your victim, victim

Yeah

[Verse 2]
Please release me
Helping hands aren't supposed to cut off my oxygen
And why won't you hear me
When I'm screaming at the top of my voice?
Now I remember why I'm alone

[Pre-Chorus]
I shoulda known better
I know
I shoulda known better
Yeah I know

[Chorus]
I was your friend and ended up your victim, victim
I was your friend and ended up your victim, victim

[Bridge]
'Cause you're a, a glitterbomb
('Cause you're a) a glitterbomb

There's only you and I in here
And one of us is acting crazy
There's only you and I in here
And one of us...(one of us)

[Chorus]
I was your friend and ended up your victim, yeah
I ended up your victim
I was your friend and ended up your victim, victim

[Outro]
'Cause you're a, a glitterbomb
('Cause you're a) a glitterbomb

Incubus is an American alternative rock band from Calabasas, California. The band was formed in 1991 by vocalist Brandon Boyd, lead guitarist Mike Einziger, and drummer Jose Pasillas while enrolled in Calabasas High School. Incubus later expanded to include bassist Alex “Dirk Lance” Katunich, and Gavin “DJ Lyfe” Koppell; both of whom were eventually replaced by bassist Ben Kenney and DJ Kilmore respectively.

Incubus has attained commercial success, reaching multi-platinum sales, as well as releasing several successful singles, Dig & Drive especially.

The band have undergone many style changes over their long careers. Their early work, Fungus Amongus (1995) and S.C.I.E.N.C.E. (1997) were aggressive and clunky Funk Metal inspired by 80’s bands, such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
