Sound of Madness Lyrics

[00:10.30] Yeah, I get it, you're an outcast
[00:12.62] Always under attack
[00:14.09] Always comin' in last
[00:15.01] Bringin' up the past
[00:16.33] No one owes you anything
[00:17.91] I think you need a shotgun blast
[00:20.64] A kick in the ass
[00:21.55] So paranoid
[00:23.31] Watch your back!
[00:24.75]
[00:33.62] Oh my, here we go
[00:34.72] Another loose cannon gone bipolar
[00:37.26] Slipped down, couldn't get much lower
[00:40.13] Quicksand's got no sense of humor
[00:42.67] I'm still laughin' like hell
[00:45.21] You think that by cryin' to me
[00:47.60] Lookin' so sorry, that I'm gonna believe
[00:49.76] You've been affected by a social disease?
[00:52.39] Well then, take your medicine
[00:54.99] I created the sound of madness
[00:58.75] Wrote the book on pain
[01:01.05] Somehow, I'm still here to explain
[01:05.15] That the darkest hour never comes in the night
[01:10.35] You can sleep with a gun
[01:12.84] But when you gonna wake up and fight
[01:19.29] For yourself?
[01:20.40]
[01:26.55] I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality
[01:30.02] If there's an afterlife, then it'll set you free
[01:32.78] But I'm not gonna part the seas
[01:35.23] You're a self-fulfilling prophecy
[01:38.12] You think that by cryin' to me
[01:40.44] Lookin' so sorry, that I'm gonna believe
[01:42.96] You've been affected by a social disease?
[01:45.28] Well then, take your medicine
[01:47.79] I created the sound of madness
[01:51.59] Wrote the book on pain
[01:53.83] Somehow, I'm still here to explain
[01:58.13] That the darkest hour never comes in the night
[02:03.39] You can sleep with a gun
[02:05.88] But when you gonna wake up and fight
[02:12.10] For yourself?
[02:13.42]
[02:31.41] I created the sound of madness
[02:35.57] Wrote the book on pain
[02:37.63] Somehow, I'm still here to explain
[02:41.97] That the darkest hour never comes in the night
[02:47.12] You can sleep with a gun
[02:49.56] But when you gonna wake up?
[02:51.75] When you gonna wake up and fight?
[02:57.58] I created the sound of madness
[03:01.28] Wrote the book on pain
[03:03.57] Somehow, I'm still here to explain
[03:07.78] That the darkest hour never comes in the night
[03:13.06] You can sleep with a gun
[03:15.43] But when you gonna wake up and fight
[03:21.82] For yourself?
[03:23.26] But when you gonna wake up and fight (for yourself?)
[03:28.35] But when you gonna wake up and fight (for yourself?)
[03:33.39] But when you gonna wake up and fight
[03:42.55] For yourself?
[03:43.99]
