don't be scribbled out, don't be crowded out
by people who don't love you
and if you're out of luck so bad it takes the breath
screaming right out from you...
if you've got something to say then say it
unless it's better that we both forsake it
if there's a silence here I won't break it
I will be the one, I will be the one slowing you down
thought maybe I had found a place to sit around
without the wrong kind of attention
but I'm a loaded gun, I am a treacherous one
I guess I bring it down on me all of the time
*
in the hunger of my soulessness
I will eat you up for breakfast
I will spit you out just like all the rest
don't be self-assured, stay by my side
if the money's good, if the money's right
I will take the bribe
I will be the one, I will be the one slowing you down
