`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
