HIT IT!
HA HA

Criminal, the suffering
It makes me think like a
Criminal, the suffering
When we're alone

Criminal, the suffering
It makes me feel like a
Criminal, the suffering
When we're alone

Typical, enough for me
That I burn inside in agony
What power will enable me
To bury my vision

The hunger coming over me
As I learn to hide the agony
To make a final remedy
To close the door once and for all

In a world that I don't want to know,
With a message that I never want to send
To be free from all of this,
I want you to quicken my end
Don't tell me I can not go,
With a wound that refuses to mend
Deliver me from all of this,
I want you to quicken my end

(it seems the whole experience is)
Terrible and crippling
The pain is much more than
Physical, beyond belief
When we're alone

Typical enough for me
And I burn inside in agony
What power will enable me
To make this decision

Despair has fallen over me
No way to hide the agony
Embracing my calamity
To save myself once and for all

In a world that I don't want to know,
With a message that I never want to send
To be free from all of this,
I want you to quicken my end
Don't tell me I can not go,
With a wound that refuses to mend
Deliver me from all of this,
I want you to quicken my end

Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to call me motherfucker
Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to say it doesn't matter

Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to call me motherfucker
Now you want to know
You want a name
You want to say it doesn't matter now

Now you wanna know
Now you wanna name
Now you wanna place
Now you wanna time
Now you want it all

Now you wanna know
Now you wanna name
Now you wanna place
Now you wanna time
Now you want it all
Now

In a world that I don't want to know
With a message that I never want to send
To be free from all of this
I want you to quicken my end

Don't tell me I can not go
With a wound that refuses to mend
Deliver me from all of this
I want you to quicken my end

Don't say that it isn't so
I'm on a path that you'll never comprehend
Set me free from all of this
I need you to quicken my end

One of my favorite songs on the album.

Criminal is my Favorite song Indestructible I waited four long years to get that song because Disturbed never released it during the Ten Thousand Fists as a b-side and when I heard/saw that they going release it on Indestructible I was fucking happy that I finally got that song .

One of my favourite songs of all time. I can really relate to this. I lost my mind when I heard them play this live at Mayhem 08 - absolutely exploded.

The chorus to this song is awesome, and it's one of their most intense songs overall.

Love the chorus. Awesome song!

Need help clearing up an offical lyric in Criminal I know that when CrowX he posted the lyrics he put Typical and also in the offical lyrics it says Typical but the problem is that in the offical released verison of Criminal I hear Identical not Typical guys what I believe truthfully Typical or Identical ?

hes right it is typical indeed

I wonder if they changed any of it between the recording of TTF when they first made it and Indestructible.

I also wonder if they changed it too maybe one day we will here the demo. :The Guy:

Really intense song

Does anyone know what its about?

From David himself:

"It's like... have you ever been in a relationship that drives you to want to commit a crime? It's that woman that just pulls the worst out of you. It's so intense, and you can't really free yourself from it, and it makes you do things you shouldn't want to do, to the extent of bringing on your own life's end just to be out of it".

Disturbedpedia says this:

"A vicious and tormenting past that a person can carry, but knowing that he/she must live with it forever.

Hey SaphireTsukikage no it's not "repaid in kind" it's "paid in kind" those lyrics are the offical lyrics and they stand corrected.

ok thanks. just thought it always sounded like repaid, and i thought that made more sense >_<

I got into watching criminal minds because of that.

Hopeless existence- Laugh if you must- Oh the predicament she finds herself in- Enticing- To the end- The very one sent- To ease the burden of The One Fallen- Unjust- The weight of all this sin- Who can endure- She hears the devil laughing- Or is that you still- Quicken yours- She will- Is that what it takes- For you- To Finally- Quicken her end

cool song

...Is there any possibility that it could be a 'man' to cause one to be nearly pushed over the edge? That the very existence is so haunted you think every day of ways to end your own life without having to end up in hell. And do not quibble about the existence of a real hell. "People who cease to believe in God or goodness altogether still believe in the devil. Evil is always possible. And goodness is eternally difficult."
