| Don t damn me When I speak a piece of my mind Cause silence isn t golden When I m holding it inside Cause I ve been where I have been An I ve seen what I have seen I put the pen to the paper Cause it s all a part of me Be it a song or a casual conversation To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations Your words once heard they can place you in a faction My words may disturb But at least there s a reaction Sometimes I wanna kill Sometimes I wanna die Sometimes I wanna destroy Sometimes I wanna cry Sometimes I could get even Sometimes I could give up Sometimes I could give Sometimes I never give a fuck It s only for a while I hope you understand I never wanted this to happen Didn t want to be a man So I hid inside my world I took what I could find I cried when I was lonely I fell down when I was blind But don t damn me when I speak a piece of my mind Cause silence isn t golden when I m holding it inside Cause I ve been where I have been An I ve seen what I have seen I put the pen to the paper Cause it s all a part of me How can I ever satisfy you An how can I ever make you see That deep inside we re all somebody An it don t matter who you wanna be But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend For this man can say it happened Cause this child has been condemned So I stepped into your world I kicked you in the mind An I m the only witness to the nature of my crime But look at what we ve done to the innocent and young Whoa listen to who s talking cause we re not the only ones The trash collected by the eyes and dumped into the brain Said it tears into our conscious thoughts you tell me who s to blame I know you don t wanna hear me crying An I know you don t wanna hear me deny That your satisfaction lies in your illusions But your delusions are yours an not mine We take for granted we know the whole story We judge a book by its cover and read what we want Between selected lines Don t hail me An don t idolize the ink Or I ve failed in my attentions can you find the missing link Your only validation is in living your own life Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time So I send this song to the offended I said what I meant and I ve never pretended As so many others do intending just to please If I damned your point of view could you turn the other cheek Don t damn me when I speak a piece a mind Cause silence isn t golden when I m holding it inside I ve been where I have been An I ve seen what I have seen Put the pen to the paper Cause it s all a part of me Don t damn me I said don t damn me I said don t hail me Don t damn me |
