When Anger Shows
Shutter in your sadness, and break your silence
Think of all the things your hands could break
You stand there steaming in the shower
As the others sit in fear and cower
The things we never think of
The fear that forces love
The dreams that we have lost
All change when anger shows
Ask for forgiveness and dream again
Drink from the madness and sink again
The world is not evil, only we are
You look like burning home tonight
The feelings we suppress
The flow of your torn dress
The dreams that have been shattered
All change when anger shows
Open up your mind to the real world
Shake from your bindings the feelings of hate
We all wake up on fire,
And our hearts will run out of desire,
When anger shows
Think of all the things your hands could break
You stand there steaming in the shower
As the others sit in fear and cower
The things we never think of
The fear that forces love
The dreams that we have lost
All change when anger shows
Ask for forgiveness and dream again
Drink from the madness and sink again
The world is not evil, only we are
You look like burning home tonight
The feelings we suppress
The flow of your torn dress
The dreams that have been shattered
All change when anger shows
Open up your mind to the real world
Shake from your bindings the feelings of hate
We all wake up on fire,
And our hearts will run out of desire,
When anger shows
