Hey, so guess what!
I can take it!
I can numb and never feel!
You can tell me any secret
Anything I’d hate to hear.
And I’ll gladly lend an ear
Because- you guessed it!
I can take it!
Hey, did you know?
I’m a zombie!
I’m the walking, breathing dead!
You can kick me- I won’t feel it!
Watch me laugh as I eat tread
And throw away my hope instead
‘Cuz, well, you know-
I can take it!
Hey, listen up!
I’ll never listen!
Just put on a little show.
I’ll make pretend, but I’m just faking
Acting like I care at all.
But, now I suppose you know
So listen closely:
I can take it.
Hey, my old friend!
I can take it!
Anything you’re dishing out!
Bitter feelings? Good advice?
With widened eyes and wider mouth
I’ll drown your voice in stubborn shout.
So then, old friend
I’ll never take it.
I’ll never take your Love and friendship
Never hear a word you say
Never tell my truest feelings
Never throw my pride away.
You can try, but not succeed
No matter how you beg and plead
You know I’ll turn around one day
And smugly tell you,
“I can take it”
Then watch you as your spirit bleeds.
