Not All Me

I wear their face on top of my face
I am the perfect target screen for your blindly-fueled rage
I bare the brunt of your long-buried pain
I don't mind helping you out but I want you to remember my name

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on

Past-riddled rage I see the buttons I engage
With my dignity in place I'm all too happy to assuage

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on

Lest I find my voice find the strength to stand up to you
Lest I state my limit and only take on what is mine to

We are a team I'm here to help mend and re-seam
All I trigger unknowingly a job I hold in high esteem

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on

It's not all me
It's not all my fault
I may remind you
But I won't take it all on
I'll only take some of it
