Rage

(Verse 1)

I taste metal in the back of my throat,

Every heartbeat’s like a warhead set to blow.

You talk loud but act so quiet,

I’ve been swallowing storms just to keep them in.

I’m a matchbox shaking, one spark from a blaze,

Walking barefoot through a room full of grenades.

(Pre-Chorus)

I don’t wanna be violent, but it burns through the seams,

Like a serpent in my chest waking up from its dreams.

(Chorus)

There’s red in my lungs, red in my teeth,

I’m choking on everything I never let breathe.

You want calm? Then don’t pull on these wires—

I’m gasoline-slicked and begging for fire.

Do me wrong and I burn you down.

Can’t cage this thing—

No, it’s breaking out of me.

(Verse 2)

I’m a cracked halo, losing all of my wings.

Tried to kill the noise, but it learned my name—

Now it’s clawing up my throat asking who to blame.

I’m a fault line trembling under your feet,

And you keep dancing on it just to feel the heat.

(Pre-Chorus)

I don’t wanna be reckless, but I’m past the edge now,

Every whisper’s a trigger, every echo too loud.

(Chorus)

There’s red in my lungs, red in my teeth,

I’m choking on everything I never let breathe.

You want calm? Then don’t pull on these wires—

I’m gasoline-slicked and begging for fire.

Do me wrong and I burn you down.

Can’t cage this thing—

No, it’s breaking out of me.

(Bridge)

I’m done being silent just to make you feel safe,

I’m done swallowing storms till my bones start to break.

If rage is a sin, then I’m falling with grace—

Falling with grace—

Falling with—

(Final Chorus)

Red in my lungs, red in my teeth,

I’m finally letting the monster off of its leash.

No more calm, no more cooling the flames—

If I burn down the world, you gave me the blaze.

Do me wrong and I burn you down

Can’t cage this thing—

It was always meant to scream.

Now watch it go down!
