Kettle On a Stove
I'm eruptive
Explosive
Ready to implode
Feel the heat inside me rising
Like a kettle on a stove
I clench my teeth together
Grind them with my jaw
So filled with pain and anger
My fury is so raw
My skin is turning color
I see it in my face
From white to deep red scarlet
As my blood begins to race
I'm so mad I'm shaking
These flames just cant be caged
I'm on fire, an inferno
Burning up with rage
Won't somebody save me
End this misery
Douse me with some water
Take a blanket, smother me
Please hurry it's engulfing me
Turn the heat down, make me cold
Before I char and turn to ashes
Like a kettle on a stove
