The rage that rages

 

The rage that rages

 

The rage that rages inside this tin thrown into the fire

It’s best I stay at home else I get in a fight

It’s best you give me a wide birth else I start laying into you

My marriage became just another business deal

My heart is rattling around like a headless chicken

I am screaming inside yet my disciplined body

Behaves as if it’s just another day

I am well socialised to bottle things up

The rage that rages inside knows no bounds

So watch your step get out of my way

Less you want to wind up a beaten mess

Coz that’s how I am heart-broken a spastic organ

& there is no hope of feeling right again

Win ugly

  Win ugly I win ugly for some bloody reason I win ugly Life’s like footy Playin into the wind Some days you act like you wish it was over Some days you get the word from the coach & you take it in your stride Though you know ur only D grade Who thought you could play ruck rover & play a ruddy blinder Who thought you had it in ya? Not even ur mother Where did that come from? For you to walk like a king who knew you could sing? About pawning ur weddin ring When ur alone You ain’t nothin but alone Just don’t scam yourself Though u can’t get any help Yes I win ugly I like it in the wet Like a 10 year old boy Drawing with a stick in the dirt Go in hard & you don’t get hurt But a wise man once scribbled The hard is overcome by the soft Like stone in water Like watching a child’s first steps One day in the sun Feelin so privileged to have been there How’d you get so lucky? Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Ya win ugly Worth the price of admission To this valley of tears Coz every now ...
