lyrics

You woke up one morning
And walked through the halls
Avoided their faces
And wished you had the balls
To stand up to them
To go toe to toe
To finally be a man
Not just an average Joe

[chorus]
Try not to scream
When the gun’s to your head
Try not to scream
When you pull the trigger
Try not to scream
Wrap your arms around yourself
Don’t you dare scream
As your innocence burns

You sit in your room
And spray paint your walls
The windows are shut
And no one calls
The self-loathing burns
Compassion is faded
The flames they get hotter
You’re cut-off and jaded

[chorus]

[bridge]

You’re broken and diseased
‘N your reflection appalls
Your guns are all loaded
Compassion dissolves
Full metal jacket
The angels have sung
You walk through your walls
The Devil has won
