Bully

Ain't gonna give you this power over me
So blind and ignorant just let me be
Things will change, next time, you'll see
Call me names and push me down
The other people won't make a sound
I'll be ready, next time you come around
I'll stand up (you're a bully) Stand up (you're a bully)
This time you're gonna pay
And I'll stand up (you're a bully) Stand up (you're a bully)
Next time you're in my way
You're gonna feel every ounce of pain you've caused
Can you hear the applause
I won't hold back (you're a bully)
You're a bully, no more, today
Hate and power are what you crave
This kind of hate makes you it's slave
Come back around and I will make you pay
I'll give the chance you never gave before
To turn around and walk away
Or these two fists won't take it lying down no more
I'll stand up (you're a bully) Stand up (you're a bully)
This time you're gonna pay
And I'll stand up (you're a bully) Stand up (you're a bully)
Next time you're in my way
You're gonna feel every ounce of pain you've caused
Can you hear the applause
I won't hold back (you're a bully)
You're a bully, no more, today
I'm a nerd (you're a bully)
And I'm weird (you're a bully)
I'm a dork (you're a bully)
I'm a queer (you're a bully)
I'm a bitch (you're a bully)
and a sissy (you're a bully)
I'm retarded (you're a bully)
and a pussy (you're a bully)
I'm whatever you may call me, I'm whatever you may fear
I cannot be defeated as long as I'm still standing here
I'll stand up (you're a bully) Stand up (you're a bully)
This time you're gonna pay
And I'll stand up (you're a bully) Stand up (you're a bully)
Next time you're in my way
You're gonna feel every ounce of pain you've caused
Can you hear the applause
I won't hold back (you're a bully)
I'm your victim no more today
I'll stand up (you're a bully)

I Am Disaster

Watch me shoot myself down
360 spinnin' all around
Lost the battle, but I will not lose the war
Look at the mess that I have made
Your sacrifice has been in vain
Got all these secrets I just can't hold back anymore
And even when I try my best
Efforts are of no consequence
I'm not cut out for this I stumble and I fall
All these wasted years I spent
Self-destruction is imminent
It's clear to see the writings pasted on the wall
I... I am disaster
I... I am insanity
I won't go quietly into the night, so hold on tight
I am disaster
Now that this debt is all but paid
This piece of mind I wouldn't trade
Got all these demons I just can't control anymore
Each time I wear this liar's crown
Destruction lasts until I'm found
Cast aside your fears, it's time to settle the score
I... I am disaster
I... I am insanity
I won't go quietly into the night, so hold on tight
I am disaster
I'm reaching out for you I'm falling
Can't tear this shield of stubborn pride from my chest
Years of mistakes I keep recalling
Misguided values push me under duress
