[Verse 1] I felt the crack before the flame Someone crossed a line and called it fine I taste the smoke I know that sign Something sacred broke right in my mind [Pre-Chorus] So I hold still I don’t obey I let the heat show me the way I hear the alarm I feel the sting But I won’t let it turn to everything [Chorus] My rage is protecting my heart tonight My rage is protecting what’s still alive My rage is protecting not taking control My rage is protecting my soul (my soul) [Verse 2] I see the old wound rise in my chest Not every fire deserves the rest Some things were touched that should stay holy I won’t go blind I won’t go lonely I can be fierce and still be clear I can get close without staying here [Pre-Chorus] So I hold still I don’t obey I let the heat show me the way I hear the alarm I feel the sting But I won’t let it turn to everything [Chorus] My rage is protecting my heart tonight My rage is protecting what’s still alive My rage is protecting not taking control My rage is protecting my soul (my soul) [Bridge] If I burn let it be clean Let it guard what used to gleam I can name what was untrue Then set it down and walk through [Chorus] My rage is protecting my heart tonight My rage is protecting what’s still alive My rage is protecting not taking control My rage is protecting my soul (my soul) My rage is protecting my heart tonight My rage is protecting what’s still alive My rage is protecting and now I know My rage is protecting and letting go (letting go)
