Rage

Verse 1 – slow reggae-country sway] He painted hard, dark strokes of color, Spatter on the wall, spillin’ on the floor, Black, red, purple, dark blue anger, Bleedin’ together, can’t take no more. No picture, just the pain in motion, A blank canvas with a broken soul’s cry, Ripped-off curtains, tables turned over, And glass like teardrops, scattered ‘cross the night. [Chorus – warm reggae skank with country twang] How much pain can one man carry? How much weight ‘til the dam will break? When’s the day you can fall down cryin’? No shame in the tears you make. Let it pour like a river, wash over the sea, Let it out, brother, and just… be. [Verse 2 – gentle but pulsing rhythm] Pictures torn, the memories shatter, Frames lyin’ broken like a heart on the ground, Scattered thoughts, they don’t even matter, When the hurt gets too loud to drown. It’s a storm inside and it’s raging stronger, A fight you can’t win if you keep it in, Man, you’ve been holdin’ it far too long now, It’s time to let the healing begin. [Chorus – repeat with harmony] How much pain can one man carry? How much weight ‘til the dam will break? When’s the day you can fall down cryin’? No shame in the tears you make. Let it pour like a river, wash over the sea, Let it out, brother, and just… be. [Bridge – softer, almost spoken over slow reggae beat] On your knees in the middle of the midnight, Rain tappin’ soft on the window pane… Every man’s got a breaking point, And every tear’s just part of the rain. [Final Chorus – big, soulful finish] How much pain can one man carry? How much weight ‘til the dam will break? When’s the day you can fall down cryin’? No shame in the tears you make. Let it pour like a river, set your spirit free, Let it out, brother, and just… be.
