The Riot's Gone

I've been looking for a fight
All the trouble that I know
Trying to loose the world inside
But it's got no place to go
Oh, I'm only dangerous at the whim of my command
I've been searching for an angle
For a cause I can defend
Oh take me home
Let me go all day
Just be here til I know
Til I know that the riot's gone, the riot's gone away
I've been haunted all my life
On the brink of something close
People know that I write
Know I'm grappling with a ghost
Oh I'm only dangerous, and I'm deafened by the fright
Waiting for the day I'm able
And I said it all this way
Oh take me home
Let me go all day
Just be here til I know
Til I know that the riot's gone, the riot's gone away
Hey, I heard it for a moment now
Hey, I hear it comin' at me quiet
Hey, I heard it for a moment now
The riot's gone, the riot's gone
