This fire may have started in my mind But now it's gone and spread To my spirit, to my heart And I can't help but feel I'd cause less damage If I were just dead instead I've tried to ignore it, I've tried to move past I did my best to disconnect from each unpleasant shadow cast But still it grows inside me, this black & toxic curse And as much as I wish otherwise it's only getting worse Who the **** are you? And I don't even have a face for the rage I don't even have a name I can scream in disdain They're both lost in the shadows of my inner flames Burning brightly, burning hate Is this hate? Insidious and unforgiving, venomous and vile Relentless, inescapable - and spreading all the while I can't let this consume me, I refuse to let it win But as each rotten second decomposes I corrode within What the **** are you? And I don't even have a face for the rage I don't even have a name I can scream in disdain They're both lost in the shadows of my inner flames Burning brightly, burning hate This is hate. I know this feeling, this is hate I wish it would just leave me be This twisted feeling, full of hate How can I escape? When I don't even have a face for the rage I don't even have a name I can scream in disdain I can't see anything through these crimson shades of pain And ******* hate. No more hate No more hate I don't want to feel this way Please take it away And grant me escape from my faceless rage

A Face for the Rage
This fire may have started in my mind But now it's gone and spread To my spirit, to my heart And I can't help but feel I'd cause less damage If I were just dead instead I've tried to ignore it, I've tried to move past I did my best to disconnect from each unpleasant shadow cast But still it grows inside me, this black & toxic curse And as much as I wish otherwise it's only getting worse Who the **** are you? And I don't even have a face for the rage I don't even have a name I can scream in disdain They're both lost in the shadows of my inner flames Burning brightly, burning hate Is this hate? Insidious and unforgiving, venomous and vile Relentless, inescapable - and spreading all the while I can't let this consume me, I refuse to let it win But as each rotten second decomposes I corrode within What the **** are you? And I don't even have a face for the rage I don't even have a name I can scream in disdain They're both lost in the shadows of my inner flames Burning brightly, burning hate This is hate. I know this feeling, this is hate I wish it would just leave me be This twisted feeling, full of hate How can I escape? When I don't even have a face for the rage I don't even have a name I can scream in disdain I can't see anything through these crimson shades of pain And ******* hate. No more hate No more hate I don't want to feel this way Please take it away And grant me escape from my faceless rage
My rage got a face eventually, and now it's not rage anymore. Actually, she and I are friends again! But I wrote this at an unhappy time of my life.
