initiation Lyrics

You've seen a face that can remain unfazed

While being put in her place

She must be custom made for you

What can she do

From a young age was made to feel ashamed

Of many dreams she dreamed

And so she gave away the view

I'm made for you

Everytime you yell when you point and shout

Everytime you tell me what it's all about

I get deja vu to a youth lived through the eyes of another

When you live in fear long enough you hear subtle warning signs coming through loud and clear

So you disappear in the well-worn gears of a life undercover

I've been abused so I'm used to it

Used to just takin it

'Stead of breaking down I just get nondescript and to avoid conflict

I don't react I don't talk back no matter what the cue

Avert my eyes and muffle sighs

Just visualize you're through

I was made for you

She says okay 'bout 50 times a day

Guess that's the price you pay

If you want to maintain the peace

She's well policed

Then walks on eggs

As every morsel begs

And finds herself with dregs

This is a famine not a feast

To say the least

Everytime you jeer when you laugh out loud

When you tell me you are anything but proud

I can hear the sound of the cheering crowd

Hound you on for another

When you land that punch with a sickening crunch

And a hush settles over the peanut munchers

Seeing you flush as you feel the rush of a thug unrecovered

I've been accused so I'm used to it

Used to just fakin it

'Stead of flipping out I just look drab and whipped and just get on with it

I don't respond I can't come on no matter what you do

Desensitized, I muffle cries

Just visualize you're through

I was made for you

We've turned a page

At least that's what you say

We're gonna make our way

Out of this crazy maze we drew

She's sorry too

Things gotta change

I'll let you out your cage

We can escape our fates

And pave a different avenue

This time it's true

Then you slam that boot

With a grand salute

And the pain blooms brighter than a hoop de do

I recall the brute force that called galoot

Haulin off for another

It's a real meet cute

When you point to shoot

Fool brooding down the barrel of the bullet chute

Got no therapeutic effect can mute it

Or run duck and cover

I've been amused so I'm used to it

Used to gettin over it

Part of giving up is when you're giving in

And to forgive again

I don't fight back I can't relax

No matter what is said

Just close my eyes and hold my sides

And visualize you're dead

I was made for this

I was made for this
