"Anger" lyrics

"Anger"

Like wildfire
It starts in my chest
The silence grows louder
Ringing out in my head

I feel the Earth shaking under my feet
I feel the pressure building until I can't breathe
And it takes everything

It all spills out
Reckless but honest words leave my mouth
Like kerosene on the flame of doubt
I couldn't make it right

Alarms will sound
But it's too late for holy water now
Sooner or later the fire dies down
I'll open up my eyes

And I'll try and find the image of God
In mountains made of ash and clouds of smoke

It's fight or flight
Buried in my mind
It's fight or flight
It keeps my body whole

But I feel it break
With just one misstep down the fire escape
And suddenly I am someone that prays
A last minute man of faith

But I'll leave behind
Miles and miles of jagged lines
Upon the surface of the Divine
I wish I could set them straight

Till it all spills out
Reckless but honest words leave my mouth
Like kerosene on the flame of doubt
I just couldn't make it right

Alarms will sound
But it's too late for holy water now
Sooner or later the fire dies down
I'll open my eyes again
