"Jeez they never let go of any thing!"
'They can judge.
That's okay by me.

You thought while holding the world away from everyone.
'As long as I get to keep what I want.'

Weaker and weaker.
'I need to hold onto this c'mon, I've got this.'

"Why do you take more than you need?!"
"They're just a selfish slug. Don't mind them."
You fell to your knees,
'As long as I can keep what I wan-need.'
