The Darker Side of Me

U won’t find me
I’m as cautious as a bee                                    
With its stinger intact
Ready to attack
I’m the part of you that is ready to burst out
As cold as blood and just as proud
I’m the darker part of your soul
Heart and all
Still I’m a part of you
Just a little more brazen and a little more true
You know every time you wanted to cuss them out and scream?
That has been me trying to redeem
Everything that they stripped you of
Still there have been more times that I’ve shown myself, love
You know all of those times you’ve felt like taking another cut?
It wasn’t your hand making those “ruts”
Don’t be mad I was just trying to help you get over
All the times that they ran your heart over with a verbal mower.
And now, my dear, I’m the one that keeps your mouth shut
That keeps you from telling her what you do. I’M SAVING YOUR BUTT!
And all of this time
Where you’ve been the beer I’ve been the lime
Always there deep inside
Letting you think that I’m trying to hide
Still I’m here ready to pounce
Just waiting for her to show me the way out
