I've been the butt of a cruel but casual taunt
Been told there are things that I don't deserve to want
Felt longing so deep in my soul
I've felt madness take hold
I'm not that into sugary fruit-flavored cereal
but it's not silly that you are
I get it, Trix Rabbit
I've let insatiable need run away with my mind
Swallowing all that I have, leaving nothing behind
Mood swings, I'm suddenly blue
Running's the best I can do
I'm not a ghost and I've never been eaten by Pac Man
But I get your frustration
Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde
I have been treated like I cannot have my own space
I've been shot down for getting in someone's face
Been beaten back at every turn
Had to watch precious things burn
As a human I side with the people whose chests you burst out of
But I see we're not blameless
I get it, Alien
While I might not be there with you
I can learn from your point of view
The choices you make, the world that you see
Make sense to you, like mine do to me
