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

Then I'll open up my eyes

And I'll try to find the image of God

In mountains made of ash and clouds of smoke

It's fight or flight buried in my bones

It's flight or flight that 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 leave behind

Miles and miles of jagged lines

Upon the surface of the divine

I wish I could set them straight

Til 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

Then I'll open my eyes again
