Trying hard to keep my cool
Trying hard to forgive
But I`ve been pushed around too long
Drained on my will to live
Don`t provoke me, I`m a desperate man
You don`t wanna know, where I`m gonna go
You don`t wanna see, the ugly side of me
Let it all come down, burn it to the ground
You don`t wanna see, the ugly side of me
Rigid mind, hollow soul
Never thought it`d come to this
Years of scorn just makes you numb
You`ve kissed your last Judas kiss
Don`t provoke me, I`m a desperate man
You don`t wanna know, where I`m gonna go
You don`t wanna see, the ugly side of me
Let it all come down, burn it to the ground
You don`t wanna see, the ugly side of me
Causing damage to protect myself
My stinking pride has never
Done me any good
Always defensive, I`m not strong enough
To show my weakness,
Though I wish to God I could
Don`t provoke me
Don`t provoke me
I`m a desperate man
