        I want you to know this

        I want you to know this
        I want you to know this
        I want you to know just what I feel

Riff 1: 4x (w/ Fill 1)
        You told me through sacred lies
        I told you once with bloodshot eyes
        You told me don't ask
        Just stay away from me
    
Riff 1: 4x (w/ Fill 1)
        You told me it'd be alright
        I told you once, then told you twice
        You can't face
        Can't you face me

Riff 2: 4x
        I won't pray for you
        I can't pray for you
        Because you took it away
        Because you took it from me

Riff 4: 2x

Riff 4: 4x
        Thought I could never ever fuckin'
        find another
        Get a muthafuckin' chance again
        Because the power
        is the rage that can devour
        Gotta make that fear descend

        Without it, you ain't shit
        And you ain't shit to me
        Berating, a scathing
        Grave indignity

Riff 5: 4x
        I see the look
        inside your eyes
        It makes me sick
        Defiling innocence
        Is how you get
        your kicks
        You violate, and
        then you think
        yourself a man
        You violate, and
        then you call
        yourself a man

Riff 6: 4x
        Don't come my way
        Don't care what you say
        Pray you fuckin' die
        Before you feel 

Riff 7: 4x

Riff 7: 4x
        Rage...

Riff 7: 4x
        Rage ..rage
