[00:12.99]Don't damn me
[00:13.38]When I speak a piece of my mind
[00:15.03]'Cause silence isn't golden
[00:16.50]When I'm holding it inside
[00:17.85]'Cause I've been where I have been
[00:19.41]An I've seen what I have seen
[00:20.88]I put the pen to the paper
[00:22.47]'Cause it's all a part of me
[00:24.45]Be it a song or casual conversation
[00:26.91]To hold my tongue speaks
[00:28.62]Of quiet reservations
[00:29.88]Your words once heard
[00:31.44]They can place you in a faction
[00:32.82]My words may disturb
[00:34.29]But at least there's a reaction
[00:48.00]Sometimes I wanna kill
[00:49.14]Sometimes I wanna die
[00:50.46]Sometimes I wanna destroy
[00:52.17]Sometimes I wanna cry
[00:53.73]Sometimes I could get even
[00:55.02]Sometimes I could give up
[00:56.70]Sometimes I could give
[00:57.87]Sometimes I never give a ****
[00:58.95]It's only for a while
[01:01.23]I hope you understand
[01:02.37]I never wanted this to happen
[01:03.93]Didn't want to be a man
[01:05.37]So I hid inside my world
[01:07.29]I took what I could find
[01:08.58]I cried when I was lonely
[01:09.96]I fell down when I was blind
[01:12.03]But don't damn me
[01:12.75]When I speak a piece of my mind
[01:14.43]'Cause silence isn't golden

[01:21.75]'Cause it's all a part of me
[01:24.12]How can I ever satisfy you
[01:26.55]An how can I ever make you see
[01:29.16]That deep inside we're all somebody
[01:32.43]An it don't matter who you wanna be
[01:35.31]But now I gotta smile
[01:36.93]I hope you comprehend
[01:38.07]For this man can say it happened
[01:39.60]'Cause this child has been condemned
[01:41.07]So I stepped into your world

[01:44.01]An I'm the only witness
[01:45.57]To the nature of my crime
[01:47.10]But look at what we've done
[01:48.45]To the innocent and young

[01:57.12]conscious thoughts
[01:57.75]You tell me who's to blame
[02:02.85]I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
[02:03.69]An I know you don't wanna hear me deny
[02:10.92]That your satisfaction lies in your ILLUSIONS
[02:16.20]But your delusions are yours and not mine
[02:24.60]We take for granted we know the whole story
[02:42.21]We judge a book by its cover

[03:00.99]An don't idolize the ink
[03:02.58]Or I've failed in my intentions
[03:04.11]Can you find the missing link
[03:05.58]Your only validation is living your own life
[03:08.61]Vicarious existence is a ing waste of time
[03:12.15]So I send this song to the offended
[03:14.79]I said what I meant and I've never pretended
[03:17.52]As so many others do intending just to please
[03:20.55]If I damned your point of view
[03:21.90]Could you turn the other cheek
