Hurtful words
Released in rage
Cannot be recaptured
With a broken cage
Once they’re out
And running a muck
It’s too late for their tail
To be brought low and tucked
They run around biting
All whom they see
Once their poison is injected
They turn on me
Seeking out
The tender soul
They start at the heart
And tear open a hole
The beginning of regret
Is the end of their anger
But until they are gone
All around are in danger
They won’t stop coming
They like the taste of blood
Like a dog returns to its own vomit
And a washed hog wallows in the mud
They hide in your darkness
We all have it you know
And then someone opens the cage
Your power is overthrown
Self-control hits bottom
The venom is just too great
Coursing through your veins
You’re poisoned by your own hate
Jesus, you are the cure, I know
Yet you feel so far and distant
It’s like I’m dying here all alone
But I am fearfully inconsistent.
I’m too scared to yet go home.
