Rage... rage.... rage... RAAAGE! [Quiet whisper] Your soul carries moments of patience and forgiveness, the mind it tick tocks... tick tocks.. Moments come and go, where you let those things slide as they slowly burn you inside. You feel the steam growing as your pot simmers with heat, the volcano rumbles with every heart beat. [Bridge] The pressure builds, a silent count, Every jab, a slow leak starts. You try to hold it, keep it low, But something's gotta finally go. [Pre-Chorus] Now the room gets small, the air turns thin, Your jaw goes tight, your hands lock in. One more push and it starts to crack, You can feel it right behind your back. Finally at some point when you’ve had enough, it starts in your chest and climbs up rough. You explode, you erupt, you break out of your cage — you scream, you shout, and then you RAGE... RAGE .... RAAAAAGE! The one person you wish you didn't have to see walks through the door, needs something from you. That car behind you on the way here was riding your rear, and that little hit at the bumper was all it took. You climb out, see the damage, feel that sting in your neck. The last few weeks come back at once, and the poor soul who hit you gets your wrath and your.. RAGE....RAGE... RAAAAAGE! Finally the water comes to a simmer, and you've taken your anger on all who have sinned you. [soften] Take a deep breath of fresh air and put your pain behind you as you walk into your home with your family's love in the air. [ease off] Dropping all that anger at the curb before the entry, it's a matter of focus on the upcoming century. [more warmth] New wife a new life with kids who adore you, a job you can't lose and your the imaginary hero. You provide for their being and sacrifice aches and pain, so you calm the volcano and shut off the (whispering) rage rage raaaage. [let it settle] [gentle, half-smile] Your little man runs up to you happy and just thrilled that you walked through the door. That anger from that last moment is now left on the floor. [softer] You grab that boy and make him soar through the sky and he fly's so high with nothing but joy the in his eye. [warm, steady] A beautiful woman sees you across the room, can't imagine being with another guy. [calm, grounded] So your quiet your volcano and bring your engine to a slow pur, it's time to be here now and leave that rage where you were. [release, breathe out] [Outro] Know when to stand your ground, know when to let it go, Not every fight needs fists, not every hurt needs a show. Save that storm for the days you really gotta move, Be hard when it's needed, but soft where love can prove. When the room calls for calm, be calm, don't fake that part, When the line gets crossed, let the truth leave your chest and start. And when you're with your people, keep your feet on the floor — Be a proper man in good company, and save the roar.
