I had a dream
The speaker had a dream.
And I woke up with you screaming at me

Held my tongue with my teeth

Why are you yelling at me?
The speaker questions the reason behind the yelling.
I'm so fucking stressed

And my head is a mess

I just want to get out

Of my fucking head

I want you to know

Your words ain't worth a shit

I will go

You're selfish and angry and totally helpless

This shit isn't worth my time

Damn it, I might just lose my mind
An expression of frustration and a hint at the possibility of losing one's composure.
I'm so tired, and you conspire about my desire

To do exactly what you say all the fucking time

I want you to know

I will go
