Let me be angry

You say there's blood on my hands — I pretend
That it bothers me, but this is the end
Of me being weak, being kind, being prey
Now the blood on my hands is my enemie’s staind

I was down for too long, but I'm done with the floor
I'll burn down the castle to guard my own door
You wanted a saint — well, that saint fucking died
Now stand in the flame if you're standing beside

Let me be angry, let me burn
Let the bridge collapse, let the lesson turn
I don’t owe the world peace, I don’t owe the world calm
I’ve been bleeding quiet for far too long
Let me be ugly, let me be wrong
Let the monster out where it belongs
This rage is a right, not a sin to forgive
Let me be angry so I can live

You say revenge is a poison well
But silence rots the soul as well
I’m not a villain, I'm goddamn grief
That claws your mercy like a thief

I broke the leash you called "control"
Now watch the teeth behind the soul
I won’t repent for feeling this
Every denied wound turns to a bloody fist

Sometimes I whisper, "Sorry, but this is necessary"
My kindness was a grave, now I'm the cemetery
And mercy's buried — watch me carry.

Let me be angry, let me burn
Let the bridge collapse, let the lesson turn
I don’t owe the world peace, I don’t owe the world calm
I’ve been bleeding quiet for far too long
Let me be ugly, let me be wrong
Let the monster out where it belongs
This rage is a right, not a sin to forgive
Let me be angry so I can... BREATH
