In a world full of hate and greed 
and what everyone else needs 
(we're hanging by a thread) to keep us alive 
don't let the anger consume you 
you're better than the words you speak to hurt 
don't let the anger in, once you have let it win 
the only danger you'll face is yourself 

this is war 
I can't recognize myself anymore 
lead us home 
from the path of [bad word] within myself 
it takes a man to love more than he owes 
I'm not the person that you used to know 

it takes sometime to realize you're here on your own 

I'm not the person that you used to know 
I've learned to let him go 
so I can live without this pain 
in my chest 
just another victim of a fear driven habit 
I'm not a monster (No!) 
I'm not a criminal 
I've paid my dues and buried all my remorse in the ground 
I'm okay, just another victim of a fear driven habit 

We all have hearts of gold that can't be broken 
just hidden by the anger within 
breathe in life, breathe out love 
and set yourself free 

(hate will fill our hearts with fear) 

'cause it pains me to see you this way 
when the words all came out 
you lost me 
and I've got no one to blame but myself 
and this fear driven habit 
yeah, this fear driven habit's to blame 
I'm not the person you thought I would be 
I'm just a victim of a temper 
that's gotten the best of me 

I'm not the person that you used to know
