Rage

Now that we’re wasted
Talking disconnected
I see that wildness in your eyes
Proud and hollow
Like there’s no tomorrow
You know you scare me sometimes
Is it fear or courage
That makes a man live so close to the edge?
He finds no comfort in the other
Nothing in this world is any use to you
Except these songs you sing
Into my drunken head
Above this barroom sorrow
And I know you won’t remember a word of this tomorrow
When will you rage again
Or is it enough
Just getting out of your head
Night after night
Or are you running scared
Or you just don’t care
Or are you waiting for
That one high and holy sign
To shine a light on you
And pull you through
To the silent true
You say you’re gonna put your old band back together again
Just got to find a drummer who understands
We sit in the corner
People stop to say hi
You say, «Fuck off and die»
And I feel like the lucky one
Six pints into this night
And you’re just starting to hit your stride
As you heap abuse in every passerby
They’re all posers or freaks
You say that you and I are the only two in this bar
That know what it takes
When will you rage again
Or is it enough
Just getting out of your head
Night after night
Or are you running scared
Or you just don’t care
Or are you waiting for
That one high and holy sign
To shine a light on you
Pull you through
To the silent true
Shine a light on you
And pull you through
To that one high and holy sign
