[VERSE 1]


I FEEL LIKE I'M SURROUNDED BY A CROWD OF HECKLERS
AND CLOWNS AND JESTERS AND ALL THEY DO IS SHOUT AND PESTER,
NOW THE TEMPERATURE'S RISING, IT'S NOW OR NEVER

IF I JUST FOUND SOME LEVERAGE OR SOMEHOW COULD SEVER

THESE !#@*ING CHAINS TO WHICH I'M BOUND AND TETHERED,

INSTEAD OF LIVING UNDERNEATH A THOUSAND POUNDS OF MOUNTING PRESSURE
NOW IT'S FESTERING INSIDE I NEED IT OUT BUT I CAN'T EXPECT A GESTURE
OF HELP FROM ANYONE ELSE,


I'M !#@*ING FED UP - WHAT'S IT ALL WORTH
I NEVER ONCE FAULTERED IN MY STEPS YET WITH EVERYONE FALL FOR

THIS !#@( BUT I'M AT FAULT FOR THIS I NEVER ONCE BOTHERED
TO CHECK THE DEPTHS NOW I CAN'T KEEP MY HEAD ABOVE WATER


AND IN THE PAST HALF THE TIME THAT I HAVE SPENT
WAS PASSIVE TO THE PRESENT, THOUGH WHAT HAPPENED IS A HAS BEEN
SO I AIN'T GOT THE TIME TO DILLY DALLY - IN THAT SENSE,

I AIN'T GOT NO !#@*ING TIME DWELL ON THE PAST TENSE



[HOOK]



[VERSE 2]

SOME NIGHTS I GOT INSOMNIA

SOME NIGHTS I WANT ME A TOMMY GUN AND A BOMB
AND AN AUDIENCE TO GO KAMIKAZE ON EM
I JUST WANT A KOLONOPIN AND AN OXYCONTIN

AND A BOTTLE OF COUGH SYRUP AND A LOTTA CHRONIC -

I'M PLUNGING INTO AN UNMERCIFUL BLOODTHIRSTY FEUD

I'M HUNGRY TO DO SOMETHING RUTHLESS DISGUSTING AND RUDE
I'M UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE DRUGS AND BOOZE
I'VE STRUGGLED THROUGH ONE OR TWO STUNTS OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE


IT'S UNDISPUTED I'LL BE HUNG IN A NOOSE
OR UP IN FRONT OF A JUDGE FACING TWENTY TO

- LIFE BEFORE I TURN TWENTY TWO
THEY'LL SAY IT WAS DUE TO MY TROUBLESOME YOUTH
I WASN'T INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE CLUBS OR THE GROUPS


I WASN'T AT SCHOOL, I SKIPPED AND SMOKED BUCKETS AND JUICED
TOOK HALLUC-NAGENS AND HUNG OUT WITH THE THUGS AND THE CREWS

OF STRUNG OUT JUV-NILE DELINQUENTS WITH, TOO MUCH TO LOSE
SOMETHING MUSTVE JUST LEFT A !#@*ING SCREW IN ME LOOSE



[HOOK]



[VERSE 3]


PERSONALITY DISORDER AND BACKWARDS MORALS - I'M
BACKED IN A CORNER IT'S APPLES TO ORANGES...
I AM WHO I AM, I WAS WHO I WAS,

BUT THE LATTER AND THE FORMER ARE EXACTLY PROPORTIONATE

I HAVEN'T CHANGED A BIT SINCE THE PAST - IT'S UNFORTUNATE,

MY PARENTS SHOULD'VE HAD ME ABORTED, I WAS BORN WITH THIS
I'M NOT OFTEN INCLINED TO HAVE A THOUGHT THAT ISN'T ROTTEN
AND AWFUL AND I'M NOT GONNA TRY -


MY THOUGHTS ARE BRAZEN I CAN SNAP AT THE DROP OF A DIME
I'M QUITE HOSTILE AT TIMES, CAN'T TAME THE MONSTER INSIDE

I AM A TROGLODITE, REMORSEFUL RECLUSE
I'M TORTURED MY YOUTH, WAS AN UNFORTUNATE FLUKE


TORMENTED THROUGH AND THROUGH INTO MY CORE I'M SUBDUED
THE LOVE IN ME WAS FORFIETED TO MY MORAL ABUSE
MY WHOLE LIFE IS NOW CONTORTED AND SKEWED,

I'M !#@*ING TORN INTO TWO, MY WHOLE LIFE IS JUST A SORRY EXCUSE

[HOOK]
