Rage Against

Verse 1

I threw my voice into the hallway

Watched it bounce and come back strange

Pointed fingers at the shadows

But shadows never sign their names

Everybody loves a headline

Everybody needs a side

But what if all the broken pieces

Never came from where we decided

Chorus

How do you know who to rage against

If you don’t recognize them?

How do you swing at something invisible

Without breaking your own hands?

Maybe the loudest thing in the room

Isn’t the thing that made the wound

How do you know…

Verse 2

I made villains out of silence

(out of silence)

Made stories out of missing parts

(missing parts)

Maybe nobody meant to hurt me

Maybe everybody just forgot

And maybe monsters aren’t monsters

Maybe they’re tired

Maybe they’re scared

Maybe the hardest thing to swallow

Is realizing nobody was prepared

(nobody was prepared)

Chorus

How do you know who to rage against

(how do you know?)

If you don’t recognize them

(recognize them)

How do you fight what has no face

Without becoming all sharp edges?

Maybe the fire in my chest

Was never asking
