.

I inhaled all the estrogen and the testosterone and the mechanisms,

I learned the ways of the old just to be abused by your cynicism,

I crumble and fall into the wither, the ether,

I haven’t seen you either, forgive me, I’m a busy beaver,

.

I had no backbone,

I lived only for you, by you, to you, from you,

But I forgot one thing,

I am a lion,

The carpet just before the concrete,

I am the impatient,

I can’t be sedated, you can’t f*****g tame me,

.

I lived for the high of just getting by, I let the old men play with their hands,

They sat back and laughed at my defense,

Told me to stop, drop, roll and pretend,

I really thought they were my best friend,

S**t I got it so twisted,

They only wanted to sweat,

.

You made a monster out of me,

Now I wanna know if you can still breathe,

Can you still breathe,

Can you still breathe,

Can you still breathe,

Can you still breathe,

.

.

I made my bed and I slept in it,

I dug my grave and I wept in it,

I carved my flesh and now I’m taking it in,

.

Scratching on a blackboard,

Do you feel the whiplash?
