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
