Oh Nickel

Proper Introduction

Oh Nickel


I know I got lost in the rage
But is that what kept you away?
You know, I've never met him before.
I need to see what makes you stray.
Would you prefer if I sat patiently and
Pretended like nothing was going on?
Would you prefer if I didn't have some friends
Show up with black ski masks on?
I only want a proper introduction.

Maybe all it takes is a baseball bat to show you what I mean.
The click in your jaw is a testament for trying to test me.

And when he pleads for mercy
I will live by the golden rule.
I will treat others just the same
The same way I was too.
Would you prefer if I sat patiently
And pretended like nothing was going on?
Would you prefer if I didn't have some friends
Show up with black ski masks on?

An apology won't mend a broken orbital.
An apology won't mend a collapsed lung.
An apology won't make you walk again.
Maybe all it takes is a baseball bat to show you what I mean.
