Verse 1 Zip lock grip is the way I keep my lips An acquaintance gets strict silence Pacifist but I don’t fear violence Get my voice heard like – crying kids Teacher never give us a chance in English Always put doubt on my analysis Kept me in a state of thought paralysis So I disregarded everything you said miss Her shit handwriting meant she was creative My poor pen work was always slated She swapped encouragement for – dictatin’ So I swapped being good for misbehavin’ Classroom back is where my bum sat Challenged her view with quarrelsome chat Ignored Shakespeare and learned how to rap Took the slouch right out of my back Chorus I was awkward, awkward I had no confidence at all And everything I did was wrong, wrong I can’t explain myself So my thoughts get lost in a song, song Verse 2 After 18 years I met the girl of my dreams She filled my heart with heat like the Gulf Stream I was shy and nervous she was ever so keen But pursuing me was a hopeless scheme Her heart on her sleeve - mine was buried beneath How could someone so beautiful be into me? She would ring nightly - to say, how she was liking me And I’d just laugh to mask the anxiety I was a boy completely withdrawn Emotions hid well from the bullies who picked on I desperately wanted her to be my bird But my feet stayed cold cuz I lacked the nerve My heart felt wonderful things in her presence I fell hard for her in adolescence But without the guts to tell her what I truly felt My head was full of melt… Verse 3 Like water migrates to a cumulus cloud I gravitated towards that popular crowd They’d humour me at first and let me stick around But I eventually got kicked to the ground A skinny wee kid that craved acceptance With a self-esteem caged up in fences I was so afraid to embrace my difference That I was content to live a victim’s existence For instance – one of the bigger guys Took advantage of my delicate size He was not content until I’d watery eyes When teacher came along he’d apologise And I accepted – I was such a fool That was my mentality in grammar school Applying household bleach to the gaping wounds Teen years lived in ruins…
