lyrics

TESTED
(music / lyrics: Thom Kunz)

Do you want to show me something I’ve never seen before?
Do you even have the nerve to try?

Your fist is like a kiss,
Emasculating shove,
When you abandon your instincts and forget your love.
You say you wanna challenge me?
So, challenge me.
Good luck.

I want to be tested,
Forever invested
In all that you do.
I want to be rejected,
A little aggressive
With someone like you.

Do you want to crush this fragile heart within your hands?
Are you waiting for an invitation?

You want to build me up.
You want to break me down.
You want to twist my verbs,
Objectify my nouns.
You want to take my blame.
You want to bury my shame.
You want to scream my name.

I want to be tested,
Forever invested
In all that you do.
I want to be rejected,
A little aggressive
With someone like you.
I want to be tested,
An open confession
Talking me through.
I want to feel tempted,
Hurt and neglected
By someone like you.

I’m looking through you.
I never knew you.
I gave this to you,
And now I want to forgive you.

Can you hear me? This is only a test.
