  • They're gonna put me in jail?
    Man, I'm already in jail
    Don't they know that my life
    Is just one big cell
    I'll bite the hand that feeds me
    And I could give a damn if that hand needs me
    Why can't you live me alone?
    A lie may fool someone else
    But it tells you the truth
    You're weak, just another clone
    I just want my life
    To do whatever I like
    Yeah, it's a selfish need
    To have no responsibility
    So I'll say what I'm gonna say
    Cause I'm going to hell anyway
    I'd rather be alone
    In my world
    I'm not afraid
    I am not afraid
    Nothing touches me I'm a walking razor blade
    Face the face of fear
    Face the face of death
    Laugh when others tear
    Hate when others laugh
    In my world it's so cold
    My defense is like stone
    No one gets inside, 'cause
    In my world I'm home
    In my world I loathe
    And you'll always pay a toll
    No one gets inside, 'cause
    In my world I'm home
    An adult at thirteen
    My childhood was a dream
    A full clout nightmare, a sight unseen
    My greatest fear as a kid
    One which I always kept hid
    Was to come home from school
    And find my mother dead
    I just want my life
    To do whatever I like
    Yeah it's a selfish need
    To have no responsibility
    So I'll say what I'm gonna say
    Cause I'm going to hell anyway
    I'd rather be alone
    In my world
    I'm not afraid
    I am not afraid
    Nothing touches me I'm a walking razor blade
    Face the face of fear
    Face the face of death
    Laugh when others tear
    Hate when others laugh
    In my world it's so cold
    My defense is like stone
    No one gets inside, 'cause
    In my world I'm home
    In my world I loathe
    And you'll always pay a toll
    No one gets inside, 'cause
    In my world I'm home
    Home!!!
    I'm not afraid
    I am not afraid
    Nothing touches me I'm a walking razor blade
    Face the face of fear
    Face the face of death
    Laugh when others tear
    Hate when others laugh
    I am not afraid
    I am not afraid
    I am not afraid Writer/s: CHARLIE L. BENANTE, DANIEL ALAN SPITZ, FRANK JOSEPH BELLO, JOSEPH A. BELLARDINI, SCOTT IAN ROSENFELD
