[Verse 1: Brian Fair, Jon Donais]

Just a word all it takes to set it off

Uncontrolled all restraint has been lost

Absorbing more than I can stand

Of these self defeating unreal demands

Giving into frustration's command

The devil makes good use with idle hands

[Chorus: Brian Fair]

Overwhelming desire to react

I am too far gone forever turning back

Searching for something to lash out at

Turning inward it is myself that I attack

[Verse 2: Brian Fair, Jon Donais]

The anger grows inside everyday

Unquenchable I have become my own prey

From where has this rage been spawned?

Been building deep inside for far too long

Forgotten memories buried and hidden

Creating my own emotional prison

[Chorus: Brian Fair]

Overwhelming desire to react

I am too far gone forever turning back

Searching for something to lash out at

Turning inward it is myself that I attack

[Bridge: Brian Fair, Matt Bachand]

What can it be that I have lost?

Control for my actions and my thoughts

What can it be that I have lost?

Control for my actions and my thoughts

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus: Brian Fair]

Overwhelming desire to react

I am too far gone forever turning back

Searching for something to lash out at

Turning inward it is myself that I attack

[Outro: Brian Fair]

It is myself I attack

It is myself I attack

It is myself I attack

It is myself that I attack
