Mr Nice Guy

I dropped my conscience
Like an atom bomb
On the man I once was

I didn\'t burn the bridge
I took a flame thrower to it
Now you try to swim across

Whoever you seek
I haven\'t been able
To reach
Since before my mind switched sides

There\'s only so much
One man can take
In a short period of time

I have regrets
I have my shame
With nobody to blame
The transition from
Boy to man is usually
A conditioning within
the rat race
Yet every once in a while
its born of
the flames of rage.
