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
