18+
Chorus:
 Fm                   D#
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
        Fm                           G#           D#
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
            Fm
'Cause I've been where I have been
          D#
And I've seen what I have seen
          Fm                      G#                 D# Fm
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me

Fm              G#              D#
Be it a song or a casual conversation
   Fm                    G#         D#
To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations
     Fm                  G#                      D#
Your words, once heard, they can place you in a faction
Fm                            G#              D#
My words may disturb, but at least there's a reaction

Fm
Sometimes I wanna kill
G#                 D#
Sometimes I wanna die
            Fm
Sometimes I wanna destroy
     G#            D#
Sometimes I wanna cry
     Fm
Sometimes I could get even
     G#                 D#
Sometimes I could give up
    Fm
Sometimes I could give
     G#                   D#
Sometimes I never give a fuck

     C#
It's only for a while
   G#             C#
I hope you understand
   D#
I never wanted this to happen
Didn't want to be a man
     C#
So I hid inside my world
   G#         C#
I took what I could find
            D#
I cried when I was lonely
                         C
I fell down when I was blind

Chorus

How can I ever satisfy you?
And how can I ever make you see that
Deep inside, we're all somebody
And it don't matter who you, 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
And I'm the only witness
to the nature of my crime

Chorus

C#          G#                  D#
I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
C#              G#                  D#
And I know you don't wanna hear me deny
C#              G#                     D#
That your satisfaction lies in your illusion
C#          G#                         D#
But your delusions are yours, and not mine
C#            G#                        D#
We take for granted we know the whole story
            C#                    G#
We judge a book by its cover and read what we want
D#
Between selected lines

Chorus:
Don't hail me and 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?

Chorus:
Don't damn me when I speak a piece of mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when
I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where
I've been and 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
Ah, don't damn me
Ouh

Smoke 'em if you got 'em
Alright, that sucked
