Asking For It

So well-behaved

So mild-mannered, even-tempered

And anxious all the time

You zeroed in on insecurities

And any weakness you could find

I was young and gullible

Awkward and uncomfortable

With nonexistent self-esteem

But I'm not the same scared

And defenseless kid I was when I was seventeen

My hands wrench into fists

And you're asking for it

I'm not that dude you knew back in high school

Broad daylight, dead of night, I will fight you

You pissed it all away

All your friendships disintegrated

And melted in your fist like an ice cube

Lie to my face to entertain yourself

Because your life's a fucking joke

There's nothing left that you can take from me

You tried to tear me down and went for broke

Push me to the edge

I'm at my wit's end

This is what you wanted

I'm not that dude you knew back in high school

Broad daylight, dead of night, I will fight you

You pissed it all away

All your friendships disintegrated

And melted in your fist like an ice cube

I'm not that dude you knew back in high school
