[Verse 1]
Hard on me, hard on me
Why do you grind me small?
Hard on me, hard on me
At every fence I fall
I bite my rage
I stop my breath
I shake my cage
I swim with emptiness

[Verse 2]
Hard on me, hard on me
Like they were hard on you
Hard on me, hard on me
So I can stumble too
My circuits seize
My senses jam
I don't know who to please
Trapped inside the wicker man

[Verse 2]
You're so hard on me
You're so hard on me
You're so hard on me

[Verse 3]
Hard on me, hard on me
Why do you grind me small?
Hard on me, hard on me
At every fence I fall
Unzip my heart
Unbraid my veins
Unstitch my wantonness
And loosen up my reins
Before I dare
Go on that hill
In dumb despair
Unfreeze my will
[Chorus]
You're so hard on me
You're so hard on me
You're so hard on me

[Outro]
Well you're so hard on me
