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 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 cryin
An I know you don t wanna hear me deny
That your satisfaction lies in your ILLUSIONS
But your delusions are yours and 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 intentions
Can you find the missing link
Your only validation is 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
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
Don t damn me
I said don t damn me
I said don t hail me
Don t damn me
