Rub me out before I ever have a chance to shine
Knock me down before I ever have a chance to climb
Pull me under
Pave me over
Starve my hunger
Steal my anger
Knock me out before I ever have a chance to be
Black me out before I ever have a chance to see
All I have is all I need
Overlook the meaning
Though you may have to pretend
Undermine my feeling
Though you'll never understand me
Rub me out before I ever have a chance to shine
Knock me down before I ever have a chance to climb
Pull me under
Pave me over
Starve my hunger
Steal my anger
Knock me out before I ever have a chance to be
Knock me out before I ever have a chance to see
All I have is all I need
Overlook the meaning
Though you may have to pretend
Undermine my feeling
Though you'll never understand me
Though you'll never understand me
