Human Hand-Grenade


I am no more than hand grenade
And my pin is pulled each day
So when I blow up on you
You say "What was that for?"
And your ignorance infuriates me
But I bottle it up inside
Until finally someone pulls my pin again
But this cycle can't continue
Because with each burst I'm a little weaker
Than the time before
And so I blame you as I burn
I blame you for my pain
That you made me into what I am
A human hand grenade

I am no more than a hand grenade
Everything lost in my wake
And you still point your fingers
At me like it's my fault
And as I keep getting ostracized
By the ones who say they're my friends
I sometimes wish that someone would pull my pin again
Cuz I like to see the tears fall
And know that I am legitimately the villain
Because of me
But it's you who makes my fate
And it's you that has left a stain
That I can't go without accusation
Of being a human hand-grenade

I am no more than a hand grenade
Packed with bitterness and hate
At a world who labeled me
Before I even knew who I was
And it's not fair that you disowned me
While I could still be saved
Sometimes I wish one pull would be all that it takes
But it's not enough to wish here
You made that so perfectly blunt
By the side you've taken
And I'm lost inside the frenzy
Of a world who tries to spark my rage
So they can witness and reject
their human hand-grenade
