I'm not quiet I'm not peaceful I'm not lukewarm I'm not hot I'm not cold I'm not understanding And you made me this way if I'm not loud if I'm not outspoken You underrate me You don't value me you made me this way you taught me that if i didn't bend twist fold or curve I wasn't good enough I needed to lose control to be in control but was i ever in control NEVER all those times i twisted sprained my back to fit into my little box the box you handed to me shoved into my hands I choked coughed cried pleaded I needed air but u needed me to contort just a little more just enough to snap and snap i did not the way you wanted but I was done caring the twists and turns weren't for me if i couldn't fit I would take up required space but u didn't need to worry cuz I didn't need your permission now I explode when i need to its invalid to you but to me its not but do you remember how good we had it before you made become a contortionist We were so good but its alright I'm alright I contorted out of shape and into a new form

Contortionist
I'm not quiet I'm not peaceful I'm not lukewarm I'm not hot I'm not cold I'm not understanding And you made me this way if I'm not loud if I'm not outspoken You underrate me You don't value me you made me this way you taught me that if i didn't bend twist fold or curve I wasn't good enough I needed to lose control to be in control but was i ever in control NEVER all those times i twisted sprained my back to fit into my little box the box you handed to me shoved into my hands I choked coughed cried pleaded I needed air but u needed me to contort just a little more just enough to snap and snap i did not the way you wanted but I was done caring the twists and turns weren't for me if i couldn't fit I would take up required space but u didn't need to worry cuz I didn't need your permission now I explode when i need to its invalid to you but to me its not but do you remember how good we had it before you made become a contortionist We were so good but its alright I'm alright I contorted out of shape and into a new form
sometimes people choke you and when you change they become saints who have no clue of what's going on " when did you become like this ?" i contorted to hard
