Rage Under Lock
I try to keep it in,
keep it all contained But it's building up like a heavy summer
rain
(mmmmm) Watch my tongue,
gotta walk a thin line Saying 'I am fine' for the twentieth
time Can't let the words slip,
can't make a sound With all this heavy weight dragging me down (yeah)
They don't like it when I lose my cool I gotta play
along, gotta play the fool But it's screaming
inside
This anger is burning a hole in my chest!
I want to scream it but I gotta acquiesce!
Locked up in silence,
trying not to break!
How much of this am I supposed to take?!
Got to filter every thought in my head
So many things left better unsaid But the pressure is rising under
my skin
Where does the anger go if I keep it in?
(tell me, where does it go?)
This anger is burning a hole in my chest!
I want to scream it but I gotta acquiesce!
Locked up in silence,
trying not to break!
How much of this am I supposed to take?!
Just gotta keep it in... (shhhhh)
