Treating me like a child
telling me I don't understand what's happening
I have perfect vision
I can comprehend
Treat me like an adult
expected to act like one
tell me I'm a grown up
I can handle issues by myself
telling me I don't understand what's happening
Contradictions everywhere
No independence
Telling me I'm a grown up
Telling me I'm a child
expected to act like an adult,
treated like a **child

I can see all the corruption
I can see all the harm
I can see all the bitterness
I can see all the failures
   But can you see the light and beauty?

I want you
choke me with your passion
make me stop breathing from our make-outs
I want you
eat me like you're hungry
a wolf licking the left over blood
I want you
bite me with your eagerness
tear me apart
I want you
Make it hurt
make it believable
I want you
flip me over
make my body red
I want you
Bruise
Me

"I'll make a shoehorn outta your shin
I'll make a lampshade of durable skin
And oh, don't you know that I'm always feelin' able
When I'm sittin' home and I'm carving out your navel
im just a sittin' here carving out your navel

When will I realize that this skin I'm in
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the **** be too much meat for me to hide on

Hey, I could really use a couple of hands
To complete one hell of a plant stand
Oh, and don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle
Making rib cages into coffee tables
I'm just makin' em into coffee tables

And when will I realize that this skin I'm in
Hey, it isn't mine
And when will the thrill be too much meat for me to find anymore

Oh, because you know I can't hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in, oh yeah
although I know I can't hide
But oh how hard I try
But this is just the shape I'm in
oh yeah, oh yeah"

Tell me about yourself
about the pressure on your shoulders
all the worries you have
all the magic in your heart

Tell me about yourself
about the dreams you keep
all the times you think you've wasted
all the people you've hurt

Tell me about yourself
about the stories you've shared
all the times you've loved
all the times you've lied

Tell me about yourself
about the animals you've cared for
all the drugs you've done
all the sacrifices you've made

Tell me everything.

You speak with such audacity
Hurting in your wake
Sweeping people from their stance
Drowning,
spinning in circles
Coming up feels like choking
Crying
Not knowing if what you've experienced is real
Blackness
You are mad, terrible with words
The others go along like nothing happened
They know it
You know it
