[Verse 1] I fed the fire With every slight Kept every word Like a knife in the night I wore my anger Like a crown of flame I tried so hard To keep my wrath tame I bit my tongue Till it split in two Then let it loose On everyone I knew [Pre-Chorus] It grew And grew In the dark of my chest I called it strength But it wanted flesh [Chorus] Wrath on my tongue Blood on my hands I made a home In the burn where I stand Wrath on my tongue Blood on my hands HOLD ME BACK I’m sinking fast [Verse 2] I learned the taste Of a held-back scream The way hate feeds On a broken dream My heart kept score Of every wrong Made pain a chain And wore it long Now my own face Looks hard and cold A cage of anger I built to hold [Pre-Chorus] It grew And grew When I left it near A small hot spark Turned into fear [Chorus] Wrath on my tongue Blood on my hands I made a home In the burn where I stand Wrath on my tongue Blood on my hands HOLD ME BACK I’m sinking fast [Bridge] If I keep this rage I will become A hollow shell In this Wrathful Hell Can't keep this caged The chains are broken Can't bury the hate Peace is left unspoken Again... Again... AGAIN... [Final Chorus] Wrath on my tongue Blood on my hands I burned my soul In the dust where I stand Wrath and Blood Wrath and Blood CAGE THE BEAST LOCK IT AWAY DON'T SET IT FREE KEEP IT AT BAY
