´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 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 And 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 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
But don´t damn me When I speak a piece of 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 I said Don´t damn me
