  • Take it, I don't need it
    I don't wanna hear your motherfuckin' side
    You can love it or you can leave it
    Because nothing I say and nothing I feel is right

    Even if you wanted to, you couldn't understand
    While I'm sitting up here dying, you're just holding out your hand
    And even if I wanted to, I couldn't have explained
    'Cause you don't know the difference between violence and pain

    There's no denying it, you've never had control

    I stand alone
    Guess I knew it all along
    Yes I knew that you were wrong
    How you left when I was down
    I want you to say
    It was never really me
    You just turned and walked away
    How you turned me inside out
    Inside out

    I'm not a dog (I'm not a dog), I'm not a slave (I'm not a slave)
    It doesn't matter how much money I get paid
    I give a shit (I give a shit), I never did (I never did)
    So you can wipe it away, that silly fuckin' grin

    If I wrote it down for you, could you ever see it clear
    Or would it go straight through your soul and come right out your ear
    If I slowed it down for you, would you think me insincere
    Cause in the end I'll never bend, I'll never shed a tear

    There's no denying it, I've always had control

    I stand alone
    Guess I knew it all along
    Yes I knew that you were wrong
    How you left when I was down
    I want you to say
    It was never really me
    You just turned and walked away
    How you turned me inside out
    Inside out
    (Inside out)

    How you've turned me inside out
    Inside out
    Inside out
    How you've turned me inside out
    I'm inside out
    So inside out

    I stand alone
    Guess I knew it all along
    Yes I knew that you were wrong
    How you left when I was down
    I want you to say
    It was never really me
    You just turned and walked away
    How you turned me inside out
    Inside out

  • Ryan from Edenvale South Africa Moody my brother. Your music and the passion behind it drives me to the edge of obsession. I have never been so in tune with any music. Be it the words or the adrenaline pumping manner and n which it’s delivered. In short you guys write and make music that hits the very core of my beliefs and ideals and I never get tired or bored of it. You say What you feel and f--k the rest and I f--ken love it. good on you for the recovery and the determination to walk the road. I myself battle daily demons from a 19 year crack addiction. Can’t go back and change things but I sure as f--k can determine my walk going forward. Shot for the best tracks I've ever heard and shot for making me feel there are people out there that reside in the same place I do.
  • Lauren from MaI love this song, the lyrics are wicked powerful.
