Nothing to Say

You hold my fears at ransom and fill me full of rage
try to hold you at a distance but a fence is just a cage
feel you try to push me but I hold to my inner sage
I just hope the day will come when petty tyrants behave

I got nothing to say to you I got nothing to say
why you gotta mess with me why you gotta play
I got nothing to say to you I got nothing to say

gnawing on this bone again chewing on my cud
you'll know when it hits you with a great big bloody thud
hating you for hating me doesn't get me very far
gotta learn to set my boundaries and show you where they are

I got nothing to say to you I got nothing to say
why you gotta mess with me why you gotta play
so much hate inside of you looks like it's there to stay
I got nothing to say to you I got nothing to say


how can this control me when you haven't said a word
picking through your silences for what I thought I heard
sometimes I get so weary running round my head
try to leave it all behind but these feet are made of lead

given time the things that change and patterns are reversed
there in lies a side of us all a part that's so rehearsed
feeds upon our anger and tells us that we're cursed
corrupt my baser instinct, is what it tries to do
gathers all my poison injects them into you
shatter all my mirrors for what it's really worth
the pride is overwhelming until ego finally bursts

I got nothing to say to you I got nothing to say
why you gotta mess with me why you gotta play
so much hate inside of you looks like it's there to stay
I got nothing to say to you I got nothing to say


then the anger comes again in great big rending waves
try to kill the part of me nested in hidden caves

what I need is amnesty from the rage that's deep inside
give me some asylum a place that I can hide
but know you'll be there too you're never very far
look at my reflection and I'll show you who you are

I got nothing to say to you I got nothing to say
why you gotta mess with me why you gotta play
so much hate inside of you looks like it's there to stay
I got nothing to say to you I got nothing to say

creating these illusions I know you're guilty too
we're all really only human it's what we seem to do
keeping down the damage is what we should expect
if we're going to make it through we gotta learn respect


I got nothing to say to you I got nothing to say
why you gotta mess with me why you gotta play
so much hate inside of you looks like it's there to stay
I got nothing to say to you I got nothing to say
