Honey, you don't have to drink so much just to keep your feelings at bay.nThrow down the bottle and approach yourself finding that you're flinching without fear.nYou've choked back every tear.nnTonight Ill stand alone in disbelief; in faulty tones.nIt's nothing personal.nYou're striving for what Ive outgrown.nnAnd I won't kick, I won't cry,nDon't surrender to me, don't comply,nDon't do what I say, and I won't scream.nI won't break down like everybody else in town, I won't scream.nDon't make a sound; we cannot give into this fashion now.nnAnd I won't stall you for a second,nNo matter how many traps I lay when I say:nI won't sacrifice integrity for a dollar sign conclusion;nA suit and tie illusion.nSweat-drenched captives passing open doors in the lights,nTo you prophetic, to me pathetic.nnTonight Ill die alone;nBeliefs engraved on my headstone.nIt's nothing personal,nIt's just you've found what we dont want known.nnAnd you won't kick, you won't crynDont you know it's better in this lie?nJust do what we say until you scream.nBut I won't break down like everybody else in town, I won't scream.nDon't make a sound; we cannot give into this fashion now.nnWhat was I supposed to do?nImagine if you followed through again.nnAnd I won't scream.nI won't break down like everybody else in town, I won't scream.nDon't make a sound,nWe cannot give into this fashion.nDon't mistake this pain for passion.nWe cannot give into this fashion now
