Salted streams of dismay

Cascade down my swollen face

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid

And I can taste your failure

BLAME

A loyal dog on a tight lead

SHAME

A rabid wolf you can't feed

PAIN

Is what you feel

But you can't speak

So take it out on me

Take it out on me

I was here to catch your blows

Bruises, tears, no place called home

By your design, my fear's alive

No place to hide, your sacrifice

Butterfly wings would shake the ground

Every miniscule action you surround

With anger, abuse and more bad news

Your truth is fear

You taste of failure

BLAME

A loyal dog on a tight lead

SHAME

A rabid wolf you can't feed

PAIN

Is what you feel

But you can't speak

So take it out on me

Take it out on me

Salted streams

Of dismay

Cascade down

My swollen face

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid

And I can taste your failure

I will never let myself be like you

You think we're one in the same

There's more to me than a name

I'll wear it proud but

I will never let myself be like you
