I cut loose your prehistoric point of view
A tight noose that hung me above all I knew
You're fishfood and I am not afraid of you now
I shampooed out all the dirt from your abuse
In ten moves you're gonna change your attitude
A shark tooth and you should be afraid of me now
A snake in the grass, a shark in the ocean
I couldn't trust you with my emotions
Had to become a recluse
I like me better now that I'm mad
A snake in the grass, a shark in the ocean
I couldn't trust you with my emotions
And now you're calling me crazy
'Cause I like being bad
This is the way
This is the way that I hurt you
By cutting you loose
You can't get a grip of my heart
This is the way
This is the way that I hurt you
Though you tried to convince me I'm burning
I came out alive
You tried to sell my death like it's a parachute
Send me out to war like I was bulletproof
But now you're watching your back
When you come through my town
The class clowns got your chakras shaking in their boots
I put too much pressure on a substitute
You couldn't handle me then
Can't put a stop to me now
A snake in the grass, a shark in the ocean
I couldn't trust you with my emotions
Had to become a recluse
I like me better now that I'm mad
A snake in the grass, a shark in the ocean
I couldn't trust you with my emotions
And now you're calling me crazy
'Cause I like being bad
This is the way
This is the way that I hurt you
By cutting you loose
You can't get a grip of my heart
This is the way
This is the way that I hurt you
Though you tried to convince me I'm burning
I came out alive
What doesn't kill us makes us stranger
They say that damaged people aren't afraid of danger
You cut, you can bruise
But I've got ten rounds for your one
What doesn't kill us makes us stranger
They say that damaged people aren't afraid of danger
I'll be black, I'll be blue
Still I rise like the morning sun
Ever been in the swamp and kept rowing?
Had the weight of the world and stayed floating?
Showed up brand new when inside you're broken
The power of you, yeah, it won't go unnoticed
This is the way
This is the way that I hurt you
By cutting you loose
You can't get a grip of my heart
This is the way
This is the way that I hurt you
Though you tried to convince me I'm burning
I came out alive
