Mettle Head

[Verse 1]
"Mama didn't raise no mettle head
(Will somebody)
Cause if she did then she wouldn't be dead
(Just one body)
Cause you push everybody away with the shit you say."
(Hey?)

Now I lay in my bed
(All alone now)
Thinking what they said:
(what they say)
"You are never drinking, never picking up that bourbon."
(Oh no)

"It won't get better
(I don't believe you)
You're losing all your friends"
(I'm losing all my friends)
Losing my mind, my brain, my days - I won't ever take the blame
(Fuck that)

[Chorus]
Now how would you feel if the ones who said that they loved you
Couldn't truly understand you or the things you do?
Cause certainly I would feel like too much of a burden
And all the doubts that I am of certain of finally come true

Mettle Head

[Verse 2]
My feelings were undercut
Won't make myself a victim of
Every repressive position I place myself in
I set my own pavement, I set my own pavement

I make up excuses:
"love must be infused with
A little sympathy," but truly
I need to change me, I need to change me
