RAGE a song by Jeff Prince

Smoke curls ’round her finger tips and rises toward the light
She crumbles up another pack and curses at the night
And that god-damned clock, Tik tok, tik tok, mocks her mournful face
From kitchen wall to kitchen wall, she runs a losing race

Dawn. She hears his drunken keys clatter at the door
Kitchen knife behind her back, she’s ready for the war
Anger breaks its paper cage. Flees it’s tin foil cage
Tat for tit, the fuse is lit and explodes into rage

RAGE, make a girl forget about her raisin’
Make a boy forget the consequences of rage
Rage is coming down the street
Rage is lying at her feet
Rage is knockin’ down the door
Rage is hidden on the floor
Rage is waiting’ in the wall
Rage is runnin’ down the hall
The race is underneath the bed
Rage is howling in her head
!!!!!!!

Friends and family comfort her
Thru the troubled days
“He’s gone,” she cried. “I’m all alone.”
“It’s probably best,” they say.
And, just like that, she smiles thru pain
And wiped her teary face,
With the body in the basement
She’s buried all the rage

Rage, make a girl forget about her raisin’
Make a boy regret the consequences of rage.
Rage, make a girls blue eyes turn dark with anger
Rage, make a boy … the deadly danger of rage
