Crescendo

I look upon my life and then I realize

Its but an endless strife and I may not ever rise

Transcend 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, wolf hound

Is it rabies or just foam around my mouth?

And do I claw against your throat or do I shout?

[Chorus]

Crescendo!

Its 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 let 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, wolf hound

Is it rabies or just foam around my mouth?

And do I claw against your throat or do I shout?

[Chorus x2]

[Interlude]

I live my life loud off-ground high-wound

Like a storm cloud, mad dog, wolf hound

Is it rabies or just foam around my mouth?

And do I claw against your throat or do I shout?

[Chorus x2]

Crescendo!
