"Complacent" lyrics

"Complacent"

Burn out
Out of control
Crash and burn
Just a matter of time
Blackout
Wake up in jail
I do not remember what they said I did

Breakdown
Out of my mind
Rage against
What they tell me to do
Grow up
And take my pills
Keep it on the inside

I think I'm better now
I am not angry anymore
I promise not to break things
I promise not to be myself
I am better now I promise I will be complacent

My wife
Restraining order
She says
She is tired of the fall
My kids
Are ashamed of me
They say
They are tired of it all

I need to grow up
And walk away clean
Move down the street
And be a man

I think I'm better now
I am not angry anymore
I promise not to break things
I promise not to hurt myself
I am better now I promise I will be complacent

I don't want to scare you
I don't want to be that guy
I will try to be complacent
I promise I will try
I promise I will try

I am not angry anymore
I am not angry anymore
I am not angry anymore
I am not angry anymore
I am not angry

How do you want me to be
Tell me what you want
I was like this when you met me
I used to make you smile
I used to make you laugh
You're not laughing anymore
I guess it's not so funny anymore

I am happy now
I am not crazy anymore
I won't beat up your brother
I will be fake and smile
I will play nice with others
I will keep it all inside
As long as no one fucks with me

I think I'm better now
I am not angry anymore
I promise not to scare you
I don't want to be that guy
I promise I will be complacent
I promise I will try
