Lyrics:
Rage is a quiet thingWell, you think that you've tamed it
But it's just lying in wait
Rage, is it in our veins?
Feel it in my face when
When I least expect it, hmm
Give in
(Control) There’s so many ways to give in
(Eyes closed) Another way to make it to ten, oh
How to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down
If I had seen my reflection
As something more precious
He would've never
And if my child needed protection
From a lover like that man
I'd sooner gut him
‘Cause nothing cuts like a mother
Give in
(Control) There's so many ways to give in
(Eyes closed) another way to make it to ten, oh
How to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down
(Simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down)
(Simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer down)
Wrap yourself in petals
Wrap yourself
Wrap yourself in petals
Petals for armor
Eyes closed
I’m never gonna make it to then, oh
How to draw the line between wrath and mercy?
Between the wrath and the mercy
Between the (give in)
How to draw the line
Between the wrath and the mercy
Gotta simmer, simmer, simmer, simmer
Simmer down
