Kill Me Patiently

There are no explanations to be offered
 You are provided both life and death, too late and too soon
 And you will be left to grow in whatever way that you choose
 So here you stand, body in bloom
 To cut yourself free from the root
 ♪
 I can see the storm start to form
 Dark sky above my head
 The world's tone gives way to black and gray
 A heavy rain comes to wash me away
 You think I'd let you get in my way?
 Think again, motherfucker
 How many years of being told I'll never amount to shit?
 Do I have to hear before I'm expected to quit?
 A little salt in the water, a tug on the chain
 Designed to kill me patiently
 Cut me open and watch me bleed out
 A dedication to all I've endured
 A response to every negative word
