Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can feel it on the back of my tongue
All of the words getting trapped in my lungs
Heavy like a stone, waiting for the river to run
I wanna lash out
I wanna let it out
'Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue
On the back of my tongue
Oh, hard to hold this fire inside me
Oh I know, sometimes it's frightening
Hard to hold this fire inside me
Oh, oh, oh, it's not really like me to lash out
I gotta let it out
I wanna lash out
I wanna lash out
[Verse 2]
I got something to say, might start a riot
Rip that tape from my mouth, I won't be quiet
'Cause everything is nothing
'Til you realise it's something you want
I wanna lash out
I wanna let it out
'Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue
On the back of my tongue
Oh, hard to hold this fire inside me
Oh I know, sometimes it's frightening
Hard to hold this fire inside me
Oh, oh, oh, it's not really like me to lash out
I gotta let it out
I wanna lash out
I gotta let it out
[Verse 3]
I can feel the cork come out of the bottle
I can feel the cork come out of the bottle
I can feel the cork come out of the bottle
I can feel the cork come out of the bottle
[Verse 4]
Lash out
I wanna let it out
'Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue
On the back of my tongue
Oh, hard to hold this fire inside me
Oh I know, sometimes it's frightening
Hard to hold this fire inside me
Oh, oh, oh, it's not really like me to lash out
I wanna let it out
I wanna lash out
I wanna let it out
I gotta lash out
