Anger (1992)
Anger in my body, in my veins
Shooting through my blood with terrible pain
The clutch it holds on my convulsing soul
Sends my emotions spinning out of control

I feel the need to destroy, to tear apart
I want to hurt you but I don't know how
The body shakes, the muscles tense
If you know what's good for you then you'll leave now

We soar and fly on that adrenaline high
Fly off the handle, take an eye for an eye
Without regret, without remorse
Cut off the problem right at the source

Maybe you can't relate to such primordial hate
But the seed is in your spine and all it does is wait
Just like everyone else it waits in this cage
To send you into a fit of blinding rage

So when I scream at you with stinging words
Remember you're getting just what you deserve
Because thought before act prevents these situations
This incoherent rage, these confrontations

We soar and fly on that adrenaline high
Fly off the handle, take an eye for an eye
Without regret, without remorse
Cut off the problem right at the source
