Verse 1 They ask it like a joke, Like it’s something I misplaced. Smile tight, teeth flat, Human mask glued to my face. Every sound’s too loud, Every room’s too small, I keep my hands open So I don’t tear through the wall. Pre-Chorus Heartbeat counting down the lie, Breath caught somewhere in my chest. I don’t lose control— I hold it Until holding hurts the best. Chorus When will you rage? They wanna know the time and place. When will you break? Like it’s a switch I can’t delay. It’s not a question— It’s a warning I live with every day. I don’t rage. I endure. Until I don’t. Verse 2 Skin feels wrong when the moon gets close, Bones remember what I am. Muscle hums like coiled wire, Blood don’t care about your plans. I feel the wolf behind my eyes, Not angry—just awake. You call it losing myself; I call it what it takes. Pre-Chorus 2 Every shape I’ve ever worn Is stacked beneath my skin. Human, wolf, something between— All waiting for permission. Chorus (Repeat) When will you rage? They ask like it’s a crime. When will you snap? Like the fault line’s not designed. I don’t rage for fun. I rage when truth demands a sign. I don’t rage. I prepare. Bridge – The Umbra There’s a mirror in the dark That don’t reflect— It opens. Step through glass that breathes like fog, And the world admits it’s broken. Colors scream. Spirits stare. Every lie peels back its skin. In the Umbra, nothing asks me Why the rage lives deep within. Break (Half-Time, Low and Heavy) It’s not madness. It’s memory. It’s the shape the truth still takes. You don’t catch the rage. You answer it. Final Chorus (Explosive) When will you rage? When the leash cuts into bone. When will you rage? When I’m done pretending I’m alone. When the mirror opens wide And the wolf steps through my name— That’s when I rage. That’s when I remember. Outro The question isn’t when. The question is— What are you standing behind When I do?
