Song lyrics Wind up by Foo Fighters

I have a choice between the bat or the belt
each time I hear about the hand you´ve been delt
spare me confession
it´s confession you sell
maybe I´ll fall behind
but I don´t mind
because I´ll catch up

I want a song that´s indelible
like manimal
I hope you never see me wind up

will I be happy on the back of the shelf
will you be happy when we´re sharing a cell
spare me your questions since you know me so well
someday you´ll realize
that I get shy and I choke up

what is wrong with this animal
I´m terrible
I hope you never see me wind up

farewell my sweet paramania
my only promise is that I´ll never tell
keep you at a distance from the things that I felt
I´ll bite the bullet
take the beating
until I take it back anyway
what was I supposed to say?
