[Verse 1]
I take to violence
To break the silence of the mind
Well, I don't really care for you
And you know I hate your kind
Assassination per demonstration
Of the rage
This pissed-off individual
Has recently come of age

[Chorus]
You wasted all my time
When time was on my side
Life left to leave you blind
My eyes are open wide
Don't stop to wish me well
Yes, I will have my day
My thoughts are "It's been hell"
Now I'll be on my way

[Post-Chorus]
Take it personal (Personal)
Take it personal (Personal)
Take it personal (Personal)
Take it personal

[Verse 2]
Mass destruction
Complete combustion of the soul
I'll make sure you eat your words
And insist you swallow whole
An altercation
In all relation to the past
The consequence is:
Most of us die young for living fast

[Chorus]
I'd rather walk a thousand miles
Just to do this all again
And revel all the while
With the few that I call friends
If I could change my ways
In the only way I know
I'd set the world ablaze
And call it even, so
[Post-Chorus]
Take it personal (Personal)
Take it personal (Personal)
Take it personal (Personal)
Take it personal

[Solo]

[Chorus]
You wasted all my time
When time was on my side
Life left to leave you blind
My eyes are open wide
Don't stop to wish me well
Yes, I will have my day
My thoughts are "It's been hell"
Now I'll be on my way

[Post-Chorus]
Take it personal (Personal)
Take it personal (Personal)
Take it personal (Personal)
Take it personal

[Outro]
So, take it personal
So, take it personal
So, take it personal
So, take it personal
