Vegetable

I never wanted anything but this I tried hard, worked hard I ran around in domestic bliss I fought hard, died hard everytime you're running over me everytime you're running I can see I'm not a vegetable I will not control myself I spit on the hand that feels me I will not control myself I never wanted any broken bones scarred face, no home your words surround me and I asphyxiate and I burn all hate everytime you're running out on me everytime you're running I can see I'm not a vegetable I will not control myself I spit on the hand that feels me I will not control myself the waters break, the waters run all over me the waters break, the waters run and this time you're gonna pay I'm not a vegetable I will not control myself I spit on the hand that feels me I will not control myself
