[Verse 1] Everything is slipping through my hands Without your anchor I can’t stand The silence grows without your voice And I can’t exist without a choice Curtains drawn across my mind Walls of distance, undefined Every move I try is futile I’m just aching for your smile [Break] [Pre-Chorus] Gravitating Suffocating Captivating Devastating [Chorus] If you give up and run away I go deaf and blind, aflame It’s happening again It happens every day!!! When you give up and run away I drown in rising seas of hate!! [pause] [slow, Emotional, breaking voice with emphasis on each ‘rage’] And I rage, and I rage, and I rage [slow, wild, shouting voice with emphasis on each ‘rage’] And I rage, and I rage! I rage! [maximum insanity with emphasis on each ‘rage’] And I rage!!! And I rage!!! I fucking goddamn fucking RAGE!!!!!!!!! [wild unhinged cacophonous insane ridiculous unprecedented instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] Every road just circles back to pain Every step dissolves into the same Restless questions burning through my chest Will I ever find some rest? Shadows drag me farther from the light Each tomorrow feels like endless night Dreams collapse and hope runs wild Still I’m aching for your smile [Break] [Pre-Chorus] Suffocating Captivating Devastating [Comfort Interlude] When the storm has burned my name, I’ll still be here — I’ll stay the same. Through the silence, through the flame, I’ll whisper love, I’ll speak your name. No matter what the night might take, No matter how the heavens break, Even in the tears you hide — I’ll stand forever by your side. [Bridge] One day I wish you’d find the grace The bravery to speak your truth into my face And stay… And stay, Doll… and stay And stay, Doll… and stay And stay, Doll… and stay And stay, Doll… and stay [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] If you give up and run away I go deaf and blind, aflame It’s happening again It happens every day!!! When you give up and run away I drown in rising seas of hate!! [pause] [slow, Emotional, breaking voice with emphasis on each ‘rage’] And I rage, and I rage, and I rage [slow, wild, shouting voice with emphasis on each ‘rage’] And I rage, and I rage! I rage! [maximum insanity with emphasis on each ‘rage’] And I rage!!! And I rage!!! I fucking goddamn fucking RAGE!!!!!!!!! [wild unhinged cacophonous insane ridiculous unprecedented instrumental Interlude] [slow, authentic whispered spoken word] …and it means nothing, doll. I’m just mad… [Chorus] If you give up and run away I go deaf and blind, I fade Your absence pulls me under Tear my chaotic world asunder If you give up and run away I’m left in seas of hate [Spoken, low] And I rage, and I rage, and I rage, and I rage [Emotional, breaking voice] And I rage, and I rage, and I rage, and I rage [Wild, screaming] And I rage, and I rage, and I rage, and I rage [Insane, unhinged] And I rage, and I rage, and I rage, and I rage [Instrumental Outro] [Outro] No escape remains [Comfort Interlude — Ghostly Reprise] When the storm has burned my name… I’ll still be here — I’ll stay the same… Through the silence, through the flame… I’ll whisper love… I’ll speak your name…
