Don't Damn Me |
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 and 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 |
Oh yeah, oh, oh yeah |
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 |
So, 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 and 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? |
And how can I ever make you see that |
Deep inside, we’re all somebody |
And it don’t matter who you, 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 |
And 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' |
And I know you don’t wanna hear me deny |
That your satisfaction lies in your illusion |
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 and 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? |
Oh |
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’ve been and 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 |
Ah, don’t damn me |
Ouh |
Smoke 'em if you got 'em |
Alright, that sucked |
