Suck It Up
40 Below Summer Lyrics

One more time to dig into my skin
You always come back to hurt me.

You'll ignite so I can burn again
Your actions bring back the pain that I thought I had overcome.

Sick like that - you'd better walk away
Your behavior is unacceptable and you need to leave.

And set to snap - before I demonstrate
If you don't leave, I'll be forced to show you my anger.

Played on this, you split me open
You take advantage of my vulnerability and hurt me even more.

Preyed on this raw emotion
You exploit my intense feelings to get what you want.

And force - feed me till I'm bloated
You overload me with your negativity until I can't take it anymore.

And swallow these open throated
You make it impossible for me to respond or defend myself.

I can't feel this way - so ordinary
I can't live with this constant pain, it's becoming my new normal.

Wrapped in all this pain - distorted every day
Pain is all I know, to the point where everything feels distorted and wrong.

And I can't breathe - you've suffocated me and all my needs
You take away my ability to function normally and fulfill my basic needs.

And I can't scream again
I feel powerless and unable to express my emotions.

Break me down - I'm breaking mentally
Your actions are tearing me apart mentally and emotionally.

Cover me - yes, I've had enough
I need to shield myself from your negative influence and presence.

Smother me - you better let me up
You're overwhelming me, I need space and air to breathe.

Eyes on this - psycho explosion
Your behavior is unpredictable and unstable, and it's causing me distress.

Your silent wish for my erosion
You're slowly undermining my confidence and sense of self.

Bent on determination
You're set on causing me harm and won't stop until it's done.

And mental evisceration
You're tearing me apart emotionally and mentally.

Why can't you leave me alone (no way)
I'm pleading with you to leave me alone but you won't listen.

Stripping me down to the bone (don't say) [repeat]
You're draining me of everything I have, leaving me vulnerable and exposed.

Force-fed and inbred and stunted,
You're pushing your values and beliefs onto me and stunting my growth and development.

Y'all made me feel so unwanted
Your constant rejection and negativity has made me feel unloved and unwanted.

Get off my case fore I make you-
Stop bothering me before I react violently.

Get out my face fore I break you.
Give me space or I'll end up hurting you.

Stain, change, range (suck it up)
These are the things I need from you, so deal with it.

Maim, aim, blame (suck it up)
I'm blaming you for what you've done to me and I won't back down.

Vacate now (suck it up) -
Leave right now, you're not welcome here anymore.

Take you out
Get rid of you completely.

Again again again (suck it up)
I'm not backing down, so you might as well suck it up and deal with it.

Again again again (lick it)
You enjoy hurting me, you might as well enjoy the fight.

Again again again (suck it up)!
You're not getting away with what you've done to me, so deal with the consequences.
