Try to ignore him
Try to have self-control
When that tounge slips just once
It's in his eyesThank youSilence by energy, push me down
And it likes to come again
Here to make you listen to them
Treated to many timesThe eye for eye
Has left us blind
This creature of demise
Repaid all the timeYou hate them
You hate yourself
Take it out on someone elseI feel a change within myself
I used to be out of control
I always knew anger and pain
That inspiration was a gameBut now it seems as I grow old
As I mature I'm lesser boldI can't believe
How cruel and cold some people act
I give it back'Cause I don't want it and I don't need it
So I give it back
'Cause I don't want it and I don't need itDon't wanna understand
The child abuse
The past gone violent
Don't justify his violent natureSooner or later, I hope
He meets his maker once again
And like his father before him
He kills himself'Cause I don't want it and I don't need it
So I give it back
'Cause I don't want it and I don't need itYou hate them
You hate yourself
Take it out on someone else
