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
