I’m Gonna Give You A Very Small Piece Of My Mind
[Intro] [Long Intro] [Intro] “Don’t make me… No, don’t— I said don’t make me do this… …okay. You asked for it.” [Verse 1] You left the cap off the toothpaste, squeezed it thin And you left no toilet paper once again I tried to let it go, I really did But now I’m standin’ here… holding back what I feel You said “relax,” said “it’s no big deal” But I’ve been spiralin’ since breakfast cereal You poured the milk before the flakes—who are you? I saw my whole life flash… I barely knew you [Pre-Chorus] I was calm… I was kind… I was keepin’ it inside But the line… has been crossed… and now so has my mind [Chorus] I’m gonna give you a very small piece of my mind Not the whole thing—just a sample this time Just a sliver, just a crumb, just a hint of the storm But it’s louder than it should be—my conscience is torn I’m gonna say it, then I’m done, then I’m fine (But I’m not, no I’m not, no I’m not—never mind) It’s a tiny little issue, but I’m losin’ my grip Over one microscopic, insignificant— [Drop / Breakbeat hit] —THING. [Verse 2] You put the empty box back on the shelf Like it would refill itself Psychologically violent behavior I need a new environment or savior You said “oops,” like that fixes the crime I’ve been keepin’ receipts since the dawn of time Every sock that vanished, every dish left “to soak” This is how it all ends—just the punchline of a sick joke [Pre-Chorus] I was fine… I was cool… I was playin’ by the rules Now the pressure’s so tight… hear it crack in the room [Chorus] I’m gonna give you a very small piece of my mind Just enough to ruin both of our nights It’s a whisper turned scream, it’s a flicker turned to blame It’s irrational fury with a perfectly good aim I’m gonna keep it contained, keep it light (While I’m vibratin’ at the speed of a fight) It’s a minor inconvenience, barely worth a blip But I’m ready to emotionally— [Build] …don’t… don’t… don’t— Why is it always me who has to— I said it’s fine but it’s not fine— It’s— it’s— just me bein’ kind— [Breakdown] YOU USED MY TOWEL AND LEFT IT WET THE BED ISN’T MADE, AND IT’S NOT DRY YET THIS IS HOW IT ENDS—OVER MOISTURE AND REGRET I GAVE YOU A WARNING (very small!) NOW I’M GIVIN’ YOU ALL— OF THE PIECE I SAID WAS SMALL— IT WAS A LIE, IT’S ALL— [Post-Breakdown] …okay. I think I’m done now. [Bridge – soft, eerie, almost seductive calm] It’s not about the towel, babe… It’s never just the towel… It’s the pattern… The history… The dampness… the forensic truth… It’s a hardboiled noir mystery… [Long Solo] [Verse 3] Honestly, I should leave, it’s the logical move Given all the evidence you continue to prove But the problem is you—well, you wouldn’t survive You’d forget how to eat, barely stayin’ alive You need structure, you need guidance, you need someone like me To interpret the world in a way you can see So I’ll stay—not because I’ve got nothin’ to lose— To save you from mistakes I know you would choose [Pre-Chorus] It’s not love… it’s just what has to be You’d fall apart without someone like me [Chorus] I gave you more than a small piece of my mind Now I’m standin’ here re-evaluatin’ my life Over toothpaste and towels and the cereal crime And the slow, creeping fear I might not be alright I said it was small, I said I’d be fine Now I’m googlin’ “anger and domestic signs” It was never that serious—till it suddenly is All this chaos… from somethin’ like— [Outro] “…a lid. … a towel. … a very small piece of my mind. …a minuscule fragment…' [Outro] [End Now] [End]
