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 illussions

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
