[Verse 1]
Salted streams of dismay
Cascade down my swollen face
I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
And I can taste your failure

[Chorus]
Blame, a loyal dog on a tight lead
Shame, a rabid wolf you can't feed
Pain is what you feel but you can't speak
So take it out on me
(Take it out on me)

[Verse 2]
I was here to catch your blows
Bruises, tears, no place called home
By your design, my fear's alive
No place to hide your sacrifice
Butterfly wings would shake the ground
Every minuscule action you surround
With anger, abuse and more bad news
Your truth is fear, you taste of failure

[Chorus]
Blame, a loyal dog on a tight lead
Shame, a rabid wolf you can't feed
Pain is what you feel but you can't speak
So take it out on me
[Bridge]
Salted streams of dismay
Cascade down my swollen face
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
And I can taste your failure
I will never let myself be like you

[Outro]
You think we're one in the same
There's more to me than a name
I'll wear it proud but
I will never let myself be like you
I will never let myself be like you
I will never let myself be like you
