"I'm Not Angry (I'm Just Mean)" lyrics

Strange how all the people around you change
When your destiny is in chains
And your gravity is outweighed
By all the pressure it's seen

'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean
'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean

I came from a cloud of dust
That hangs over the whispering of my name
And the blood running through my veins
And jumping out of my scream

'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean
'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean

I was a lonely pilgrim
I was a native son
My feet couldn't find time to kill them
So on Achilles' heels I run

Crying is a waste of a good man's time
So accusers can stand in line
Even Wilson Pickett could carry your sign
It won't matter to me

'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean
'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean

I was a lonely pilgrim
I was a native son
My feet couldn't find time to kill them
So on Achilles' heels I run

I dig deep and what I fail to find
I keep beneath a mountain of memories
Synchronicity pays my wage
And keeps my apples green

'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean
'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean

I was a lonely pilgrim
I was a native son
My feet couldn't find time to kill them
So on Achilles' heels I run

The grave is no bigger for those who are brave
If you count all the love you save
Light your candles and turn the page
But don't come looking for me

'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean
'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean

'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean
'Cause I'm not angry
I'm just mean
