survivors
here is a song i uploaded to share by an australian band that was popular here early 2000's. i've never done this before so i hope the link works.
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 wanna 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 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 kerb
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 away with a key
so that only the special ones
can ever get through to me
some can see beyond the barrier of threshhold
whereas others can't see beyond the sculpted mould
you could offer me nothing
you could offer me nothing that i need
and do you think i'm asking too much
for the 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 the kerb
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 kerb
so rather than being fucked around
i'm gonna fuk you around 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 away with a key
so that only the special ones
can ever get through to me
don't wanna be angry
this is not worthy of me
and now with clariy i see
that i can walk away
i can walk away
(sorry that i don't know how to arrange the lines properly. i just tried to do it with the meaning.)
