Upside-down Tornado
Wearing the ice thin
And my eyes low
It's not rage
It's not rage
If I don't say it.
I can't help knowing
That I can't help growing
Into what people see fit.
I woke up all broken up tonight
With an upside-down tornado
Tight on my steps, always in sight,
Trying to play friend or foe.
I don't want to take a chance
I'll be shooting at first glance
If you take away my plight.
The train was slowed by the mist
Of blood you left behind
Now I'll be late
Now I'll be late
People do care
To get away
They hope to dare
But never will, I daresay.
I played it and I broke tonight
For an upside-down tornado,
Tight on my steps, picking up fights,
And calling me a weirdo.
I don't want to take a chance
I'll be shooting at first glance
If you take away my plight.
Darkening what's sickening
Such is this world's fuckuppery
Slip and be gone,
Slip and be gone,
I'll strangle the first passer-by
Should he happen to be you
Out of your house, insides dry
Out on the street face what is true.
Make me what I want
You heard what I said,
I'll tear and rip the bed,
Bow down if you can't...
Maybe I want to be broken tonight
By an upside-down tornado
Give in to my biggest frights
Making new friends, making new foes.
I don't want to take a chance
I'll be shooting at first glance
If you run away tonight.
I don't want to take a chance
I'll be shooting at first glance
If you run away from sight.
And my eyes low
It's not rage
It's not rage
If I don't say it.
I can't help knowing
That I can't help growing
Into what people see fit.
I woke up all broken up tonight
With an upside-down tornado
Tight on my steps, always in sight,
Trying to play friend or foe.
I don't want to take a chance

The train was slowed by the mist
Of blood you left behind
Now I'll be late
