lyrics

Here we go again, the fire rising from inside
My anger far too easily unleashed
My mind is now engulfed and the flames are rising higher
Fury feeding on me like a leech
Everything around me shining light on all my flaws
Fighting the endless battle against myself
Looks like I have lost again so here comes the big bang
Leaving ration high up on the shelf
 
Now that the explosion’s coming, nothing I can do
But sit back and await the final fray
Once I’m in this mindset there can be no turning back
The looming urge that will not go away
 
If I don’t give in
The feeling will persist
Violent visions in my head
I cannot resist
 
No time to hold back from striking
Anger will not be subsiding
There is only one solution
Fist
 
(Solo - Joe Garcia)

Hiding from the ones I love, afraid they will find out
The truth about the bruises on my face
Avoiding all the questions but there’s no way to deny
What happens when I end up in that place
This habit had arisen from the withering of hope
For a temper far too short to try and tame
Now I’ll never break away from my destructive ways
Afflicted is my middle fucking name
 
If I don’t give in
The feeling will persist
Violent visions in my head
I will not resist
 
No time to hold back from striking
Anger will not be subsiding
There is only one solution
Fist
 
Blacked out, paralyzed
Powerless, dazed
Frozen, catatonic
Sinking - fist

Blacked out, paralyzed
Powerless, dazed
Frozen, catatonic
Sinking - fist
