Hornets Nest
Been swinging at the hornets' nest
Waiting for it to fall
Cringe to think what will happen
When it hits the wall
Maybe it will sting me once
So I can get a feel
A feel of pain is what I crave
It makes me feel so real
I like the rush of adrenaline
When I start to hurt
It brings a smirk to my face
Dumb, yes I know
But I aim for the heart of the heart of the nest
Waiting for it to fall
Been swinging at the hornets' nest
Waiting for it to fall
Cringe to think what will happen
When it hits the wall
