lyrics

i need a soothing, a little cooling
my blood is hot and no you wouldn't like me
when i'm angry
come out of hibernation
better wake up soon if you know what's good for you
i don't know what i'm feeling
but i feel it's danger, dangerous

i've got a history
i've got a history of
violence
violence
violence

can't take it back, you
can't push the undo
just step aside or you'll see something
you won't soon forget
is it the moon, i don't know why
this fever's escalating
all systems overloaded
the safety's off, i'm cocked and ready

i've got a history
i've got a history of
violence
violence
violence

don't touch me, i can't feel you
just let me be
you've woken the monster
sleeping in me

i've got a history of
you've got a history of
we've got a history of
violence
violence
violence
violence

all systems overloaded

- Craig Dodge Lile, My Old Kentucky Blog ... more
