Isn't it funny how you never really screamed
At my face
But your anger so unspoken and unchannelled
Permeates my essence
To the point where I
Don't want to see you, hear you, be anywhere near you
You probably think I'm threatened by you
But your illusionary power doesn't threaten me

Actually I think it's kind of funny
That you create an illusion that is a mirror
I don't appreciate you
And I know that surprises you
I suppose you see that those who follow their heart
Always win
Those with integrity
Have won the match before it's begun

So rather than being kicked around, I'm gonna kick you to the curb
So rather than being pushed around, I'm gonna push you away first
So rather than trying to protect you, I'm gonna cover my bases first
So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm gonna lock it with a key
So that only the special ones, can ever get through to me

Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold
Whereas others can't see beyond their sculptured mould
You offer me nothing, you could offer me nothing that I need

Do you think I'm asking too much?
A kind of respect and trust that shouldn't even be questioned
How can I open my heart
With dishonesty sitting next to me?

I've honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment
But innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb
I was ashamed of my innocence, I was ashamed of my innocence
But now with clarity I see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me

So rather than being kicked around, I'm gonna kick you to the curb
So rather than being pushed around, I'm gonna push you away first
So rather than trying to protect you, I'm gonna cover my bases first
So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm gonna lock it with a key
So that only the special ones, can ever get through to me...

I don't want to be angry
Angry

This is not worthy of me
And now clarity I see that I can walk away, I can walk away

So rather than being kicked around, I'm gonna kick you to the curb
So rather than being pushed around, I'm gonna push you away first
So rather than trying to protect you, I'm gonna cover my bases first
So rather than trying to open my heart, I'm gonna lock it with a key
So that only the special ones...
So that only the special ones, can ever get through to me...
