Assemblage 23 - Anger

Anger
In my body
In my veins
Shooting through my blood with terrible pain

The clutch it holds
On my convulsing soul
Send my emotions
Spinning out of control.

I feel a need to destroy
To tear apart
I want to hurt you
But I don't know how

The body shakes
The muscles tense
If you know what's good for you
Then you'll leave now

We soar and fly
On that adrenaline high
Fly off the handle
Take an eye for an eye
Without regret
Without remorse
Cut off the problem
Right at its source

Maybe you can't relate
To such primordial hate
But the seed is in your spine
And all it does is wait

Just like everyone else
It waits in this cage
To send you into a fit
Of blinding rage

So when I scream at you
With stinging words
Remember, you're just getting
What you deserve

Because thought before act
Prevents these situations
This incoherent rage
These confrontations

We soar and fly
On that adrenaline high
Fly off the handle
Take an eye for an eye
Without regret
Without remorse
Cut off the problem
Right at its source
