I'm in a mangled state of mind I've had too much work and too much down time I'm a contradiction of myself I'm dangerous to others and to my own health I feel so stressed, I feel so shitty I'm not sure if it's you, or this goddamn city Nothing's wrong, yet nothing's right I'm starting a riot within myself tonight (x2) A silent rage fills my body A silent hurt fills my heart I want to take this anger out And you might be just where I start (x2) I want to rob from the rich and kill all the cops Burn down banks and smash cars with rocks Take down the white man and they'll see What the word revolution really means

What the fuck is this shit? All I know is that I'm fucking pissed Your choices, and your virtues Affect me more, than they do you I've lost touch, with all mankind And this tank's been filling, and it's time To light the fuse, to light the match To let the fuck loose and not hold back I'm locked inside An empty room I'm trapped inside My future tomb Punching and screaming At the sky Don't want to live Just want to die I'm trapped inside, my own life cell I'm living in my mind, living in hell I've resorted to talking, to myself Because I have, no one else What the fuck have you become? All I know is that I'm fucking done I'm locked inside An empty room I'm trapped inside My future tomb Punching and screaming At the sky Don't want to live Just want to die Fuck this Fuck you (x4)

Who is this thief? What is this debt? Where will he end? When will you love free? You are a captive, a captive, to me Without shackles or fear, you choose to be I can take the stars for my own observatory The beautiful un-grandeur, the stilted glory Spread wide, stop youth pouring out Children with loaded guns in the dark, screaming out Into a night that won't cover their bones To a pain that won't leave them alone But it's fine, the river smothers this dress Friend of mine, lie down with the rest Come and dine, this is Valhalla for the kids with no plans Thank you for the golden years, now watch me fail as a man My cock is strong, my seed flies true Into a crib still made for me and you You will love this town for the rest of your life & I will bury you in it, as my wife No, as a lover without respect or trust Now sell your soul up the river for my lust But it's fine, the river smothers this dress Friend of mine, lie down with the rest I will die a thief I will die a thief that turned a diamond into coal

I work this dead end job for a salary of failure Nothing will be accomplished as long as I'm here I really need to break this fucking shell Stop being so insecure and awkward as hell But surrounded by these people, influenced this Because its all cliques, close mindedness Where to be typical is great, and to have a mind ignored To where alcoholism is valued by the rich and the bored I feel like I'm better, but I feel like I'm not And I'm about to give up on everything I've fought But the aspirations of people are for the status quo I don't belong here, and I just want to know Where do I go? Where do I stand? California really is some sort of promise land But how many of those promises are really kept? When I'm destined to a life of loneliness and debt But even so, for myself, I want to break out For the smallest chance to end my own self doubt But for now I'm stuck with half ass parties and cheap weed and beer Stuck with Right Wingers who hate all queers Stuck in a land of ignorance and fear But this town's not free of evil, I'm standing right here. And when this town kicks my ass and tries to win in this war It'll grab me by the throat and then will throw me to the floor It'll rape and strangle me, stomp in my fucking head But this town won't have its way with me until I'm fucking dead

I have the same conversations Day after day I can't carry on Living this way My closest friends No longer connect with me It's either them or that I'm my own worst enemy I'm pissed at life Pissed at myself Pissed at my habits At my own poor health To me everyone else's Motivations are short I'm in the right Even if it's seen as warped But they really don't make Any sense to me With their bullshit trends And insecurity I'm too upset for concentration I'm too upset for masturbation I'm losing my mind I'm going insane I have more emotions harbored Than I can contain And I'm just waiting for the moment that God will shed his light on me, and I will get down on my knees I'll look at the sky and scream What the fuck is planned for me? and God if you're there, you'd stand up and fight Because lately it seems you're doing nothing right
