Diving into the lake

Here I am pushing your button
Watching you tense up little by little
Day by day I up the voltage
I have tosay you're getting used quite nicely

But there'll be the day when from just seven
I'll turn it right up to eleven
You'll explode right through the roof
While I'll be ROTF at this mobid merriment

I learned it from a great teacher sometime ago
She'd go through the roof without me trying
Before crushing down into me at terminal velocity
And I graduated the first time I tried it intentionally

I guess I am a little sorry for doing this to you
You deserve better in light of who I am to you
But those who stick around after I pushed their buttons
see me for who I am, then I'll stop this self-punishing amusement

But many went away the first time I pushed theirs
I tell myself it's alright, it's a filtering process
Just like you, now walking away looking rather irate
Leaving me like a kid whose RC plane just dove into the lake.
