Red Blood Boiling

Red in my vision

Teeth on edge

I taste the burn

Every word you ever twisted

Plays back

Makes my muscles turn

Hands start shaking

Jaw locked tight

I bite it down

You poke the bruise again

Again

Now feel it spread around

My crimson blood is boiling

Hear it roar inside my veins

I am the face of fury

Walking

Talking hurricane

You wanted all my mercy

Now you’re choking on the flood

I am the throne of anger

Crowned in crimson blood

Laugh in my direction

Like I’m something you can break

Stamping on the line you drew

Till it snaps beneath the weight

Heartbeats hammer

Like a war drum in my ribs

Every breath’s a loaded match

Striking at the bridge

[low vocal register] I warned you

Warned you

You thought I was tame

You lit every fuse

Then whispered my name

[sudden scream] Now watch me blaze

While your little world cracks

I am wrath in the flesh

And I am not coming back [low vocal register]

Count to ten? I count the ways

I could tear down all your praise

You built your kingdom on my back

Now feel it crack

Crack

Crack

I won’t calm down

I won’t behave

Carve your name

Right out of my grave
