LYRICS
Verse 1:
This empty feeling sets in my chest,
And I start to worry,
Try to push it down,
Cast it out,
But I can’t control it…
Hangin on by the strings that you’re pulling,
So you cut me down, just to push me around..
Pre:
Like I'm your punching bag,
Just another pot callin' the kettle black,
Take it out on someone who won't hit you back,
Till we're all as broken as you.
Chorus:
So say goodbye to your Mr. Nice Guy,
You got your wish he's rotting in hell,
I'm up all night, when you think I'm sleeping,
People pleasing's never good for your health.
So go fuck yourself.
Verse 2:
On this episode of friend or foe,
You’re throwin’ stones and hope I,
Tie a rope, ‘round my throat, till I start to choke.
You’re a sick, persistent virus under my skin.
Rather set myself on fire, than let you win.
I could give you the world but you’d poison the seas.
I could let down my guard but then all that I’d be is just your…
Pre:
Like I'm your punching bag,
Just another pot callin' the kettle black,
Take it out on someone who won't hit you back,
Till we're all as broken as you.
Chorus:
So say goodbye to your Mr. Nice Guy,
You got your wish he's rotting in hell,
I'm up all night, when you think I'm sleeping,
People pleasing's never good for your health.
So go fuck yourself.
Chorus:
So say goodbye to your Mr. Nice Guy,
You got your wish he's rotting in hell,
I'm up all night, when you think I'm sleeping,
People pleasing's never good for your health.
So go fuck yourself.

this is gonna be one of those songs that you replay over and over again. It’s a good thing I was up until 12 am to see this be released

[@misshulabuloothe1st953]

Haha same! I didn’t realize they were releasing it right at twelve a.m. What a nice surprise!!

[@LooDoesStuff]

Same lol!

[@LooDoesStuff]

Didn’t they release Why Do I at like 12 am too?

[@TheRealFrozenFire]

It's only eleven for me lol

[@CorynthianLeather]

I just finished listening to the new fall out boy album that was just uploaded, and now I found this. Picked a good night not to sleep lol

I was at a show of theirs on Tuesday night (the last Elsewhere era show) and Cody mentioned this new song and how it’s like a mix of all their music, so you’re not wrong! So good I love it!!

[@underthependulum3484]

They weren't kidding when they said this was a huge departure from the previous two albums, this is easiest the darkest song you've had since the Cinematics days. And I'm absolutely here to see all of it.

Top tier, this is a throwback to the old times with elements of the new sound of the band.

[@HannahS65]

Definitely. I liked when they did songs like The Haunting, Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, Distance Disturbs Me, and stuff like that when the instrumental goes hard. I'm so happy that I woke up this morning to a new SIO song. 😍

Ngl i feel like a LARGE amount of their songs can sumned up as "Abuse Survivor Anthem" and I kinda dig it. Makes me feel seen lolol

[@LordJokester]

"I could give you the world but you'd poison the seas" is a line that goes so hard on a song that's already an absolute banger.

Whole next album is gonna be like this. They are actually revisiting the sound!

[@haydenmomtracy5039]

@@ProjectRAVID LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I found them when I listened to their darker stuff, but most of their newer stuff I thought was not as good as this darker material. Love that they are coming back to my personal favorite era of their music.

[@josephineverive1546]

The reference to Why Worry with the tune and lyrics in the beginning gets me every time. I love it when SIO does that (ex. Unopened Windows ("walk through the halls, trace the walls...) and The Haunting (Love so alive, but it died...."). It's such a fun little wink-wink/nudge-nudge moment.

[@saulguardado9007]

Dude. You guys never disappoint. Every single song makes me want to scream it out loud and dance around my room. You guys are amazing!

[@HannahS65]

Same here. Listening to SIO really gets you in the mood lol

[@vacrenshaw3014]

Omg same as soon as the rock music started I screamed and my dad heard cause he came home

[@StickmanAnimations12345]

thats what i actually do

[@shiromatsunoki]

I can't lie, this song hits pretty close to home for me. This is already rising up the list as one of my all-time favorite songs by my all-time favorite band! Fantastic work!!

[@omalga]

Yes I’m soooo obsessed I love this song and will listen to it all day and even longer! Thank u for this amazing piece! It sounds like a part of the story with: “wolf in sheep’s clothing”, “I’ll sleep when I’m dead”, “Nightmare”, “Midnight thoughts”, “who’s in control”, and “cut off”, and now “Punching bag”. These and other songs I didn’t count tell so much of a mindset of a victim of abuse/bullying/broken heart etc. and how they finally break up the chains of their problems!

[@Melody-re2qt]

THE VISUAL THE VIBE THE GUITARS EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

[@simon_says_lots_of_things]

As someone who's had multiple bad relationships, all of which ended because I was tired of being taken advantage of, this is definitely making it to my playlist of therapeutic angry songs.

[@testsubject747]

I so so so hope that their next music keeps the same vibes as this. I want SIO to make more "angry" songs like this again

[@mase_void]

This gives me middle school flash backs to listening to cinematics and duality. I love it so much

[@Loki-5663]

This is basically Crutch 2.0 and I'm here for it. Only hearing it once was enough to make it stick in my head. Also we know what a new single means, a full album is sure to follow at some point and I can't wait!

[@Loki-5663]

Actually now that I think about it, Crutch was about a one sided relationship and Punching Bag seems to be about an abusive relationship. ... So it could be either Crutch 2.0 or Crutch part 2, or the songs have nothing to do with each other. Whatever the case may be Cody deserves a hug. 🫂

[@haybail027]

My sister absolutely hates crutch but loves this song 😅

[@kaykyleandro3506]

cody, i'll tell you what i have kept here there are times I LOVE YOU, maxx, cody, zach you are like family to me! Since I was a kid I always liked pop and more everyday music, but when my friend ashley showed me wolf in sheep's clothing back in 2016, my life changed, I sang I went to school with her, it was such a good feeling that I decided to become a singer and musician, I know it's not an easy life after all I know that from your first album to Elsewhere there were several and several attempts, mistakes and successes and you are what you are today for your efforts, but I think maybe I won't be able to see you, I live in Brazil, and the situation isn't very good either, the only dream I have in my life is to be able to see you one day, and express my gratitude for making my life path real THANK YOU AND COME TO BRAZIL, I LOVE YOU SIO

[@TheOneTrueErica]

On my period, I needed this song. Thank you for channeling my rage, anxiety, resentment, worry, determination, spite, and glittery, black-and-pink uppercut all at once.

[@lilithramirez7719]

This has honestly become one of my favorite songs from these guys. It ranks up there for me with nightmare, why worry, no control and i'll sleep when i'm dead, which are my four favorites. A year later and punching bag is by far my favorite sio song.

[@MilseyMusic2]

I can’t believe I’m living in basically cinematics 2 era!!! I am beyond excited for a new project like this!

[@RealFruitDragon]

THIS is the Set It Off I know and love! Awesome stuff, guys.

[@JohnDoe-nl5mf]

I had fully given up on this band which sucked because they were like the soundtrack to my angsty adolescent years and I cherish the CInematics/Duality era. Midnight had some bangers but its been 4 years since then and almost a decade since Duality. I thought losing Dan was surely their death knell and until this song came out it looked like that. But of course this dropped on the week that I lost 3 family members and was looking back on the songs that have helped me cope for a decade. HOLY FUCK this is the most welcome surprise of the year. THIS is the set if off that i fell in love with. I am beyond excited to see where these boys go from here. Welcome home.
