Special Ones - Katie Noonan

Isn’t it funny how you never really screamed at my face

But your anger so unspoken and unchannelled

Permeates my essence to the point where 0

I don’t want to see you, hear you

Be anywhere near you

You probably think I’m threatened by you

But your illusionary power doesn’t threaten me

Actually, I think it’s kind of funny

That you create an illusion that is a mirror

I don’t appreciate you and I know that that surprises you

I suppose you see that those who follow their heart always win

Those with integrity have won the match before it’s begun

So rather than being kicked around

I’m going to kick you to the curb

So rather than being pushed around

I’m going to push you away first

So rather than trying to protect you

I’m going to cover my bases first

So rather than trying to open my heart

I’m going to lock it with a key

So that only the special ones

So that only the special ones

Can ever get through to me

Some can see beyond the barrier of threshold

Whereas others can’t see beyond their sculptured mold

You could offer me nothing

You could offer me nothing that I need

Do you think I’m asking too much?

A kind of respect and trust that shouldn’t even be questioned

How can I open my heart with dishonesty sitting next to me?

I’ve honoured your honour to the point of embarrassment

But innocence in the hands of the guilt-free is kicked to, is kicked to the curb

I was ashamed of my innocence, I was ashamed of my innocence

But now with clarity, I see that your bullshit is just not worthy of me

So rather than being kicked around

I’m going to kick you to the curb

So rather than being pushed around

I’m going to push you away first

So rather than trying to protect you

I’m going to cover my bases first

So rather than trying to open my heart

I’m going to lock it with a key

So that only the special ones

So that only the special ones

Can ever get through to me

I don’t want to be angry…

This is not worthy of me and now with clarity

I see that I can walk away, I can walk away
