don't hit me

there's a boy 
in a corner
and his hollow eyes say
don't hit me
there's a million thoughts
from a million miles away
don't hit me
a worn-down belt
and a five year-old
you're gonna learn
to do as you're told
don't hit me

there's a boy 
and he's crawling
trying to escape
don't hit me
I'll teach you not
to make mistakes
don't hit me
you feel the rug
below your knees
this is the start
of your disease
don't hit me

ain't no truth
ain't no lies
don't hit me
Oh, I'll teach you
how to cry
don't hit me
welcome to your 
first memories
this is the start
of your disease
don't hit me
don't hit me
don't hit me
don't hit
