Bang my hands on a drum
Drop it while it’s still hot
I’m angry like a hungry lion
Who needs a feed and will die trying
Please just make it stop

Take me on a train to nowhere
Help me it’s a dead end

I’m not afraid to fight
You stand there with your pay check in spite
I’m raging like a hungry tiger 
Whose fury only makes him faster
I’m about to ignite

Take me on a train to nowhere
Help me it’s a dead end

My life is not a game
There’s no pieces to play
Counting seconds as they pass
Won’t you wake me up in August
I’m sick of it, you heard me
I’m over it

You can’t hold my hand
Your wish is my command
You’re firing in my direction
And who am I to take discretion
Justice I demand

Take you on a roller coaster
Help you I’m a game winner

I never wanted to be here
I feel like we lost emotion
and now we are living in fear
time just moves in slow motion
the paradigm
that you defined 
it’s made up in your mind

And they knew what was coming
Ricocheted with conviction
They just said it was nothing
Sweet little piece of fiction
The paradigm
They improvised
They’re leaving us behind


My life is not a game
There’s no pieces to play
Counting seconds as they pass
Won’t you wake me up in August
I’m sick of it, you heard me
I’m over it
