Lyrics[]
I never wanted anything but this
I tried hard, worked hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died hard
everytime you're running over me
everytime you're running I can see
I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feels me
I will not control myself
I never wanted any broken bones
scarred face, no home
your words surround me and I asphyxiate
and I burn all hate
everytime you're running out on me
everytime you're running I can see
I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feels me
I will not control myself
the waters break, the waters run all over me
the waters break, the waters run
and this time you're gonna pay
I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feels me
I will not control myself
