Текст песни: Growing to Hate + перевод

One step, two steps in a sidewalk square

I measure them out as I walk everywhere

Don’t step on a crack, don’t wander away

Don’t talk 'til the teacher has nothing left to say

One step, two steps in a sidewalk square

A demon of belittlement had followed me there

I cried out, so desperate for someone to care

But people will rape them if you lay your feelings bare

don’t step- don’t speak-

One step alone in each sidewalk section

I learn painful lessons of love and rejection

I hid my head when all the children said I’d failed their little tests

I held a guilt trip for the moments

I thought I knew what was best for me

I thought I’d never be as good as them in their own eyes

And I was right, absolutely right.

Walking alone, don’t know where my steps fall in the sections

I’m pissed off and impervious to all forms of correction

The people I depend on for an air of acceptance

Have left me instead with the stench of their own arrogance

My steps will no longer fit in the lines

Self-doubt and self-hatred are all left behind

Rudely ignoring now all the cracks in my way

I’m glad I don’t give a fuck what anybody else has to say

My steps will no longer fit in the lines
