MY ANGER

I think that I'm right
You think that I'm wrong
I think that you're weak
You think that you're strong

I don't know how it started
But I know how it ends
We don't speak to each other
For days on end

When will our love be out of danger?
When will I learn to control
My anger?

You just want to talk about it
When I feel like silence
When I say that we're just arguing
You call it violence.

I wish I could just breathe
Like some wise man or sage
Instead of screaming at you
Like a baboon in a cage.

When will our love be out of danger?
When will I learn to control
My anger?

I'm jealous of strangers
I'm jealous of my friends
The success of my peers
Can irritate me to no end.

Sometimes I think about revenge,
Even torture and mauling,
It's definetly at odds
With my Gandhian calling.

When will our love be out of danger?
When will I learn to control
My anger?

If I had a dollar
Everytime I blew my cool
I could build me a solid gold
Asshole-shaped swimming pool.

I want to be gentler
Kinder and calm
I want to be the kind of person
My dog thinks I am.

But something goes haywire
Something just snaps
All of my good intentions
Just turn into crap.

When will our love be out of danger?
When will I learn to control
My anger?

I've been called argumentative
I've been called confrontational
Diplomacy skills are lacking
When I don't feel conversational.

Sometimes I get so mad
I want to fight someone or cry
Or laugh like a fucking idiot
Or throw up and die.

When will our love be out of danger?
When will I learn to control
My anger?

Sometimes just a single word
Uncovers in me some place
That's been buried deep for years
That I just don't want to face.

Now don't expect me to be perfect,
I'm not a saint or a saviour,
But I give you my word,
I'm changing my behaviour.

When will our love be out of danger?

When I learn to control
My anger.
