We tried to make it simpler
But it ended up even worse
I've given up on feigning peace
Built up rage will be my curse
The sickest thoughts that haunt me
Are becoming beautiful
I could force a knife into your back
Or put a bullet through your skull
The weapon that you gave me can pierce your heart
I'd do it in a heartbeat if I got the chance
I don't care who sees blood on my hands
You beat me down so I'm taking a stand
I'll never understand if it makes any sense
It feels like all I've got for defense
I just can't stand keeping this so tense
I'll break it out at you
I never want to hurt you
But I'm pressed by this dark choice
When you trash all my effort to help
It's not enough to raise my voice
As this manifests itself
My patience slowly dies
The abused becomes the abuser
All before your very eyes
The hurt you've put upon me will return
If I could strangle you
I would, I would
If I could puncture you
I would, I would
If I could beat you down
I would, I would
If I could choke you out
I would, I would
