A Song About My Anger – DEMO // 3-2-26
My therapist said
To write a song about my anger
Get it out of my head
Through my voice and through my fingers
So, this is my attempt
To say what’s been hiding
To say what’s been quiet
I’m angry
Cause I don’t feel seen
I don’t want to have needs
But I do want a team
To help hold up my hands
I’m not a proud man
Nor am I an island
And when I feel alone
I feel angry
The history is this:
I thought anger was a violence
You don’t betray with a kiss
Betrayal comes when you break the silence
I’ll take the lesser risk
Keep the peace and betray my conscious
And call it loving
CHORUS
I’m sort of ashamed
Sort of afraid
What I might say
Would end us
Your wrath for my wrath
Is my fear of your fear
But please hear me, dear
I’ll still defend us
I’m angry
But that doesn’t mean
That I’m being mean
I’m just stuck in between
What I want and what’s here
When that delta appears
My heart’s commandeered
And I am afraid to say I’m angry
