lyrics

If I can grin it, you can bear it;
I may not win it, but I can share it.
I can manage it all, I swear it,
So just take that hair-shirt and wear it.
Don't back me into a corner,
I'm all angles and teeth
And I'm not afraid to show 'em.

These are desperate times we're livin' in,
Survival of the fittest men,
There's a devil slumbering beneath my skin,
If you jostle me you might just wake him again.
Don't touch me, I'm all coiled up,
I've got teeth out, claws sharpened
Ready to spring into action.

Don't push me,
I'm all rattles and venom
But I could shed that skin
If you'd only let me try!

So take those bloodied blades, and clean them.
While the creature was slain in the mayhem,
I had no idea I'd become him,
I'd eat my own tail to destroy him.
I'd rip out my own heart in order to grieve,
But if you can't beat 'em then maybe it's time you should
Leave 'em.

I'll hiss and I'll scream
Like a banshee on fire,
But I can tell you one thing,
You'll never see me cry!

And in the night alone, I'll crumble.
Pugnacious as they come,
And after all is said and over and done,
It's all really just one big terrible sum
Of the wasp on the window
And the chip in the glass,
And the crack that's movin' up the wall.
Straining and breaking under the weight of it,
Making a god damn scene of it.
