The Riot's Gone

I've been looking for a fight
All the trouble that I know
Trying to lose the wild inside
But it's got no place to go
Oh I'm armed and dangerous
At the whim of my command
I been searching for an angle
For a cause I can't defend

Oh take me on
Let me go all day
Just beat it 'til I know
'Til I, I know that
The riot's gone
The riot's gone away

I've been haunted all my life
On the brink of something close
People know that I ain't right
Know I'm grappling with a ghost
Oh I'm armed and dangerous
And I'm deafened by the fray
Waiting for the day I'm able
And I set it on it's way

Oh take me on
Let me go all day
Just beat it 'til I know
'Til I, I know that
The riot's gone
The riot's gone away

Turn it on, turn it on
Now blow for blow
I want to make up now
For all the things I swallow
That I can't control
Get it out, get it out
Where does it go? So
One day we wake up
Someone we wish to God
We could say we don't know

Oh take me on
Let me go all day
Just beat it 'til I know
'Til I, I know that
The riot's gone
The riot's gone away

Hey, I heard it for a moment, now hey
I hear it coming in, be quiet, hey
I heard it for a moment now
The riot's gone, the riot's gone
