Rock

[Lunatic Fringe]

Break me
it makes you feel better
break me
to reaffirm who you are

you're you
and you're pretty
and you're smart
and everybody wants you...
and I'm shale
I snap
and I break
and I don't bleed...
between your experience fingers

I'm shale
It feels so good to break me
Because I don't want you...
anymore

And who cares how I feel
'cause I'm shale.

are you saying your a rock made from clay because of this person? i'm not sure "shale" is a good word choice...

If you've ever actually been around shale, you can pick it up and break it with your hands very easily. I didn't choose the word because of the "rock made from clay" definition, but because my Grandpa owns some stripmine land, and there was lots of shale out there, as it is one of the things leftover from the process. As I kid I was around it enough to be quite familiar with it, so it was a natural choice when I was thinking of something you can just snap with your hands.
