Fire in the Walls

[Verse 1] There is a beast beneath my skin A sudden heat, a violent spin I feel the red start rising up To fill the silence, fill the cup With words I know I can't take back Turning the white room into black [Chorus] I don't want to be the storm That tears the roof off of our home I don't want to be the fire That burns the ones I hold most dear Swallow the scream, hold the breath Beat the anger down to death [Verse 2] I see the fear inside your eyes Before the monster even rise It breaks my heart to see you flinch Before I even move an inch I hate this trigger in my brain That turns my love into your pain [Chorus] I don't want to be the storm That tears the roof off of our home I don't want to be the fire That burns the ones I hold most dear Swallow the scream, hold the breath Beat the anger down to death [Bridge] Count to ten Count to ten Put the monster back in the den Lock the door Throw the key Kill the rage Set you free From me [Verse 3] The quiet now is hard to keep But I will guard it while you sleep I'll fight the war inside my head Before I let the blood run red I'll break my teeth before I speak The words that make the strong ones weak [Outro] Not today Not on you I will keep the sky Blue Stay cool Stay cool Stay
