ain't nuttin' out there I need

Ain't nuttin out there I need.

I'll survive on my own.

Closed up tight

like a drum.

You ain't gettin' in.

try to open me,

I swallowed the key.

 

If you tried

to open my mind

you'll get shutdown

with the rest.

Pump my veins

with your medications,

You ain't gettin' in.

 

Don't need food,

I feed off anger.

Don't need shelter,

I'm inside myself.

Don't need love,

I have hate.

Don't need water,

I'm already drowning.
