lash out

Singer:alice merton

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

all 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

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

all 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

i can't be the cork

come out of the bottle

i can't be the cork

come out of the bottle

i can't be the cork

come out of the bottle

i can't be the cork

come out of the bottle

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

all 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
