pushing buttons
the audacity
youve had the last of me
atleast the nice side
get ready for shade
catastrophe
I wasn't made to be nice
I wasn't raised with support
and love
and compliments
I was raised on hellbent sh*t
I wasn't brought up gentle
I wasn't lulled to sleep
I slept to ingrates screaming
mothers skeeving
fucked up boyfriends trying to sneak in
I had not many sights worth seeing
it took a lot for me to be as kind as I seem
and you just had to go and push the gentle out of me
pushing buttons
eject
there goes my cover
I'm exposed
I am a monster
I'll drag you under
my instinct is. to plunder
and you mistook me as naturally kind
the audacity
pushing buttons
then being shocked by the noise and the lights
