Crescendo

I look upon my life
 And then I realize
 It's but an endless strife
 And I may not ever rise
 Ascend above the petty things
 Instead of compromise
 I'm but a prisoner
 So set me free
 I live my life loud off ground, high wound
 Like a storm cloud, mad dog, wolfhound
 Is it rabies or just foam around my mouth?
 And do I claw against your throat or do I shout?
 (Crescendo)
 It's the sound you make when everything is out of shape
 (Crescendo)
 When your life is disproportionate and you're afraid
 That your overblown existence might explode
 That your identity might dissipate, corrode

 I look upon my life
 And I'm dissatisfied
 Though somewhat dignified
 I'm still being rectified
 Why can't you leave me be
 To my own decree?
 I'm still a prisoner
 So set me free
 I live my life loud off ground, high wound
 Like a storm cloud, mad dog, wolfhound
 Is it rabies or just foam around my mouth?
 And do I claw against your throat or do I shout?
