  • Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
    I need to calculate
    What creates my own madness
    And I'm addicted to your punishments
    And you're the master
    And I am waiting for disaster

    I feel irrational
    So confrontational
    To tell the truth I am
    Getting away with murder
    It is impossible
    To never tell the truth
    But the reality is
    I'm getting away with murder
    (Getting away, getting away, getting away)

    I drink my drink and I don't even want to
    I think my thoughts when I don't even need to
    I never look back 'cause I don't even want to
    And I don't need to
    Because I'm getting away with murder

    I feel irrational
    So confrontational
    To tell the truth I am
    Getting away with murder
    It is impossible
    To never tell the truth
    But the reality is
    I'm getting away with murder
    (Getting away, getting away, getting away, getting away)
    (Getting away, getting away, getting away, getting away, getting away with murder)

    Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness
    I need to calculate
    What creates my own madness
    And I'm addicted to your punishments
    And you're the master
    And I'm craving this disaster

    I feel irrational
    So confrontational
    To tell the truth I am
    Getting away with murder
    It is impossible
    To never tell the truth
    But the reality is
    I'm getting away with murder
    (Getting away, getting away, getting away)

    I feel irrational
    So confrontational
    To tell the truth I am
    Getting away with murder
    It is impossible
    To never tell the truth
    But the reality is
    I'm getting away with murder Writer/s: David Buckner, Jacoby Shaddix, Jerry Horton, Tobin Esperance
