Lyrics
Sound Of Madness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, I get it
You're an outcast
Always under attack
Always coming in last
Bringing up the past
No one owes you anything
I think you need a shotgun blast
A kick in the ass
So paranoid
Watch your back
Oh, my, here we go
Another lose cannon gone bi-polar
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower
Quicksand's got no sense of humor
I'm still laughing like hell
You think that the cryin to me
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe
You've been infected by a social disease
Well, then take your medicine
I created the sound of madness.
Wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain
That the darkest hour never
Comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up and fight
For yourself?
I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality,
If there's an afterlife
Then it'll set you free
But I'm not gonna part the seas
You're a self-fulfilling prophecy
You think that cryin to me
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe
You've been infected by a social disease
Well, then take your medicine
I created the sound of madness
Wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here
To explain
That the darkest hour never
Comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up and fight
For yourself
I created the sound of madness
Wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here
To explain
That the darkest hour never
Comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up
When you gonna wake up and fight
I created the sound of madness
Wrote the book on pain
Somehow I'm still here
To explain
That the darkest hour never
Comes in the night
You can sleep with a gun
When you gonna wake up and
Fight, for yourself?
When you gonna wake up and
Fight, for yourself?
