Someone Else

I’ll lend you a tired hand
And in return, you’ll bite it
Now you’re going to starve
Just pass the hunger to someone else

I’ll teach you how to feel
Then you’ll know how much it hurts
You won’t want it, screaming in your head
Just pass the feeling to someone else

I’ll force you to judge yourself
You’ll spend the rest of your life perfecting
Cursed with the idea of inadequacy
Just pass the curse to someone else

I’ll tell you the biggest secret
That we all thought you were dead
You’ll gasp for air, a sign of life, but a death sentence
Just pass the breath to someone else

I’ll break you out of yourself
Then show you the world, as scary as it is
You’ll hold fear in one hand, freedom in the other
Just pass the fear to someone else

I’ll give you every part of me
You’ll use what you need, then leave
And I’ll be left with nothing, like you once were
Just pass me by to someone else
