Verse 1
Em
I used to think my thoughts made me mad - then I realized I was just mad,
with thoughts
Taught my hands to speak my mind
- the inside of a fist is soft
Had 6 strings to take my mind off of things - to
ventilate hostility with positivity
And control my aggressive tendencies
G
Em
- cause what I am is what you hear
Verse 2
- and continue my bloodline
G
Em
Like a child, yet complete in it's form - like a child,
G

but you can't mold it wrong

And the pendulum swings
like a thinking mind
The pendulum swings and it passes time
Like a mood it swings me wide
Verse 4

Em
As it cheats me of a content life

And to those that made winter so cold

Like a mindquake it puts me through it
Like a hand shake it greets me
As it cheats me of a content life

...And in the end we bend
to make amends
'Cause any one of us can blow up
Since I'll be there to collect my share
