Take it, I don't need it I don't wanna hear your motherfuckin' side You can love it or you can leave it Because nothing I say and nothing I feel is right Even if you wanted to, you couldn't understand While I'm sitting up here dying, you're just holding out your hand And even if I wanted to, I couldn't have explained Cause you don't know the difference between violence and pain There's no denying it, you've never had control I stand alone Guess I knew it all along Yes I knew that you were wrong How you left when I was down I want you to say It was never really me You just turned and walked away How you turned me inside out Inside out I'm not a dog (I'm not a dog), I'm not a slave (I'm not a slave) It doesn't matter how much money I get paid I give a shit (I give a shit), I never did (I never did) So you can wipe it away, that silly fuckin' grin If I wrote it down for you, could you ever see it clear? Or would it go straight through your soul and come right out your ear? If I slowed it down for you, would you think me insincere? Cause in the end I'll never bend, I'll never shed a tear There's no denying it, I've always had control I stand alone Guess I knew it all along Yes I knew that you were wrong How you left when I was down I want you to say It was never really me You just turned and walked away How you turned me inside out Inside out Oh, you've turned me inside out Inside out Inside out Oh, you've turned me inside out I'm inside out So inside out I will stand alone Guess I knew it all along Yes I knew that you were wrong How you left when I was down I want you to say It was never really me You just turned and walked away How you turned me inside out Inside out Inside out

She calls me Goliath, and I wear the David mask I guess the stones are coming too fast for her now You know I'd like to believe this nervousness will pass All the stones that are thrown are building up the wall I have become cumbersome to this world I have become cumbersome to my girl I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past Resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance But my old stone face can't seem to brake her down She remembers the bridges, burns 'em to the ground I have become cumbersome to this world I have become cumbersome to my girl Too heavy, too light, too black or too white Too wrong or too right, today or tonight Cumbersome Too rich or too poor She's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more A bitter taste is cumbersome No, yeah, no, no, no No, no, no, yeah There is a balance between two worlds One with an arrow and a cross Regardless of the balance Life has become cumbersome Too heavy, too light, too black or too white Too wrong or too right, today or tonight Cumbersome Too rich or too poor She's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more A bitter taste is cumbersome No, yeah, no, no, no No, no, no, yeah No, no, no, no Yeah Your life has become cumbersome

Words keep falling from my mouth, Trying just to slow them down. Keep on spilling around, Saying "Why do you hurt me?" And if anger is my gift, The only gift I'm fit to bring Then put me on your shelf, See the wind turn me. If it's the only gift I'm fit to give, Then put me on your shelf, I don't want to live What's in that suitcase? A picture and a name. Brought here from someplace, Not brought here to stay. She picks up the pieces, Puts down the phone. Yes, baby's not speaking To her angel anymore, no. If it's the only gift I'm fit to give Then put me on your shelf, I don't want to live If it's the only gift I'm fit to give Then put me on your shelf, I don't want to live This way. This way. My love, this way, this way, my love. All of my actions are no consequence of you. My love and affection just doesn't know what to do. How can I love anyone else when I can't trust my...

Indivisible, you are the one Impossible to hear what you say to me at night Can't I have some covers back? It's so cold on the wrong side of the bed Are you awake are you aware are you anything? Pictures high, high above the shelf Letters from me to you, you to me, us to them Do they express? They say anything, anything at all? I know I'm not the man of her dreams Daddy said she'd marry rich, rich, richer than me I know I'm not her man, but she could take anything Anything she wants anything at all Do you think it's just enough to know How I wanted you to feel? Read things back to me, back up To see from where I am There is nothing more than this, more than this Is it enough to say that I want you to keep it close to me Me, me is all I think, think about, but every word you say Do I mean anything? I know I'm not the man of her dreams Daddy said she'd marry rich, rich, richer than me I know I'm not her man, but she could take anything Anything she wants, anything at all Anything she wants, anything at all

"He's a real cannibal," she goes "I think I'll call him Roderigo" Dress him up in darker clothes, sell him away Standing underneath her gun "Sit up straight or I'll hurt you" You know he's not her only son, just the strongest Tied him down to her tree Stayed fit to name him what he's going to be Tied him up with her rope You know it stained her neck, but it can't hold Roderigo "I'm the real animal" she goes She wants to call me Roderigo Tie me down with all her ropes, 'till I can't breathe She can't help but beat me down Into a brand new Roderigo I'll slip away without a sound, into the air Tied me down to her tree Stayed fit to name me what I'm going to be Tied me up with her rope You know it stained her neck, but it can't hold Roderigo Tied me down to her tree Stayed fit to name me, what I'm going to be Tied me up with her rope You know it stained her neck, but it can't hold Roderigo

There's a tall, a mulatto, boy, I know And he comes to every party, he stands alone In viewing them the rest, a corner of his glance It gets so clear, he's not judging anyone The way his arms float around his cage, he's caged Canary sings, silently brings his voice to rage The way they stop and stare, the way they turn their heads It's enough to make him want to run away But he stays, he stands his ground And I, I'm so damn lame The way I condescend without ever knowing his name He keeps it in a box, hangs it from his ear Looks at everyone without the slightest fear It's making me so ashamed Slender body, slip through his glance, I don't give it a single chance The way he's rocking back and forth, makes a buzzing in my ear Constantly reminding me that I never stop to hear Him say, hello, hello And I am, I'm so damn lame Like a moth bumping off his godless flame I cannot condescend, even apprehend, what comes over me When I see his shameless face So rage, please rage against me Beat me down, beat me down, forgive me For what I've done, I'm so lame, I'm so lame, I'm so lame So lame, so, so lame
