There's just something about me

Doesn't act like the tv or Disney

Can't fake like a Hollywood actor

Or a restaurant owner

Or high school

There's just something

I never was able to act right

Like I wanted to hang with the hoodies

Hope with the churches

Dope with the druggies

And those pop, country, teenage songs

Don't use words wanna hear

As if I wanted to hear all along

They have nothing to say

That would end my way

Ways I want to be

And society has owners

They own the schools, the food

The ways you have to live

They tell you just how to want

How to get

And they use you up like oxygen

Put you where they want you to be

Football captain

City mayor

Construction worker

Toilet cleaner

Well with me, I never fit in the machine

They threw me away like trash

Well with me, I never fit in the machine They threw me away like trash

Trash? Say it again — trash Like it's a spell, like it's a lash Like one more word will make me small Like I was nothing at all

Trash is what you cannot face What doesn't fit your sacred space What makes your polished edges crack So you just shove it to the back

Bag it, drag it, out of sight Feed it to the holy night Where your conscience stays asleep And your tidy angels keep

You stand there — judge's grin Measuring worth by borrowed skin Cold commandments in your eyes Cheap forgiveness, grand disguise

Well with me, I never fit in the machine

They threw me away like trash

Well with me, I never fit in the machine They threw me away like trash

Trash?

But trash still screams Trash still fights Trash still wakes you in the night Trash still bleeds, trash still burns Trash remembers, trash returns

I am every thing you waste Every truth you've erased Every voice you tried to choke Every chain you swore was broke

You don't cleanse — you erase You don't heal — you replace You don't see — you decide Who gets mercy, who gets denied

So go on — build your flames Write your rules, carve your names Play your rituals of control Like you ever owned a soul

Because the heap you built so high Isn't where we crawl and die It's where your fractures multiply Where your perfect systems fry

Trash doesn't rot Trash ignites Trash comes crawling through your nights Trash kicks teeth into your pride Trash is everything you tried to hide

Well with me, I never fit in the machine

They threw me away like trash

Well with me, I never fit in the machine They threw me away like trash

Trash?
