Not All Me
Not All Me
I wear their face on top of my face
I am the perfect target screen for your blindly-fueled rage
I bear the brunt of your long-buried pain
I don't mind helping you out but I want you to remember my name
It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on
past-riddled rage I see the buttons I engage
with my dignity in place I'm all too happy to assuage
It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on
Lest I find my voice find the strength to stand up to you
Lest I state my limit and take on only what is mine to
We are a team I'm here to help mend and re-seam
All I trigger unknowingly a job I hold in high esteem
It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on
I'll take only some of it
