A tone of voice, the look in their eyes
I clench my fists and bottle it up inside
Try to keep calm, put myself at ease
Paralyzing rage is my only disease

Blood boiling
Anger consuming

Hurting all those around me
Fighting this feeling inside me

Never knew how to change
Never meant to cause you pain
Try to keep it trapped inside
Part of me I tried to hide
Now it's time I come to terms
With past mistakes I never learned
For the problems I created
My instinct is hatred

Instinct
Hatred

No emotion or reason to my words
Verbal scars I know you don't deserve
Can't listen to the words when you tell me how you feel
The wounds from my actions I fear will never heal
Will never heal
Trying to be a better man

Never knew how to change
Never meant to cause you pain
Try to keep it trapped inside
Part of me I tried to hide
Now it's time I come to terms
With past mistakes I never learned
For the problems I created
My instinct is hatred

But there are those who would push my patience too far
