So you said you've been a far whisper

but I say I can hear you clearly boy

no matter what you do

 

You are always so much louder than me

you take up lots of space

taking mine away

 

But you don't seem to mind

so don't be surprised to hear

that I don't think you're kind

 

I have you on my mind

when I think of things I dislike

no matter what you do

I don't want to become like you

 

The sea couldn't pull me in

and so can't you

though you think you do

 

And I don't tell the truth

cause sometimes, you know

it takes a little while

till the words are found

that match my sound

 

Just because I'm slow

doesn't mean to go

just as far till I let you know

to stop to quit to leave to cease

 

You think my life's too much about things I don't like

I complain too much, nurture my anger too much

but hear what I tell you, boy

I can just as well undress

leave all this mess

 

It's not that I have chosen

the world that I live in

the only thing I chose is

to not be too happy

when things aren't like that

 

My hours of bliss

are there, be sure

but I choose carefully

with whom to share

 

So boy, beware

cause all I got for you

is my anger, my contempt

 

Have you ever spent a thought or two

on things not concerning you

what you call pain

is a vain attempt

to get all the attention needed

to nurture your ego

nurture your ego

 

But I'm not a mother

no, I'm not a mother

go find yourself someone other
