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.
