Toxic Masculinity--the push and pull of being abhorred and attracted to it.
lyrics
You cock your gun
But the walls are thin
And I'm down but I am not asleep
I hear her moan
And the walls are thin
And the sound, it sounds so much like me
I thought I heard you say my name
Is it real or am I just dreaming?
You make me weak
But you don't know me
And I made you up from scratch
You're everyone and you're no one
And you do this all of the time
Your body makes you better than me
But your mind tells me it's a lie
I fight you but I'm still drawn to you
If it takes me the rest of the night
But I lie here staring up at the sky
Hoping it'll happen tonight
You cock your gun and the hormones drip
Down your arms, away from your face
I hold my gaze and I disappear
It's safe here where I'm just a trace of something else
You're everyone and you're no one
And you do this all of the time
Your body makes you better than me
But your mind tells me it's a lie
I fight you but I'm still drawn to you
If it takes me the rest of the night
But I lie here staring up at the sky
Hoping it'll happen tonight
Got me in the back, way back in back
Your plan of attack
To stick me way back in the back
