Hayley Williams - Simmer Lyrics

Hayley Williams Lyrics

"Simmer"

Rage is a quiet thing
You think that you've tamed it
But it's just lying in wait
Oh, rage
Is it in our veins?
Feel it in my face when I least expect it

Give in

Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes closed
Another way to make it to 10
Oh, how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down

Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes closed
Another way to make it to 10
Oh, how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down

If I had seen my reflection
As something more precious
He would've never
Mmm, and if my child needed protection
From a fucker like that man
I'd sooner gut him
Cause nothing cuts like a mother

Give in

Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes closed
Another way to make it to 10
Oh, how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down

Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes closed
Another way to make it to 10
Oh, how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
(Simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer)
Gotta simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down

Wrap yourself in petals
Wrap yourself in petals
Wrap yourself in petals for armor
Petals for armor

Give in

Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes closed
Another way to make it to 10
Oh, how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Simmer simmer simmer simmer simmer down

Control
There's so many ways to give in
Eyes closed
Another way to make it to 10
Oh, how to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer...
