Did you have something to prove?
And did you do what they wanted you to do
And did you do it right?
Did you know
That I had nowhere left to go when you dragged me out of hiding
And into sight
Take me down
Hold my head down under water 'til I drown
Cut me into pieces
And burn me to the ground
It's a shame
At least I think it is
The color of the stain drove us all insane and drove the inside out
I walk a line
Except I wander off the path half of the time
Until I'm pushed back into place and no one tells me what it's about
Take me down
Hold my head down under water 'til I drown
Cut me into pieces
And burn me to the ground
You were right
But so was I, despite
The words that flew for miles, breaking smiles, breaking hearts, and breaking us down
Will you be my friend?
Though there's occasional offending and the words that bend
With frightening sound
And you can still
Take me down
Hold my head down under water 'til I drown
You can cut me into pieces
And burn me to the ground
