She bites me with those fangs again while I stand and take it,
But now the venom seems to be gone.
I thought I had the antidote, in foil backed packs of thirty,
But now without it you seem so small, laughable that you could hurt me.
Is it like cowpox? That the bite of another species could grant me immunity...
Or is it just that I know you better.
Perhaps it's neither.
But every day seems easier
Not that you'd be pleased to hear
I'm managing to plod along
But maybe I'm wrong...
I'm facing all my darkest fears
And not being reduced to tears
Standing up for what I believe
Like power has been given to me
A power you once locked away
And made me suffer every day
Yeah maybe I still get the shakes
But I think I have what it takes
No, I know I can do this
Vaccinated from your toothy kiss
Again I'll fall and get back up
But now I know that I'm not fucked
Nor am I fixed, I never will be
Though once I thought that you would kill me
It seems to be you're not all that
I'm not scared of your tap tap tap.
