My mem'ries so good and awful, it seems they gave me a grudge But I have left bitterness and resentment behind me And it is all thanks to him Look, it's the clowns who think they know How crushing loneliness can be You know nothing 'til you come with me And run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage Let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flame By the end, everything turned to red, it was brutal yet so beautiful A kind of red, pulls you in, and won't let you look away Make you feel a bit feverish Scarlet crimson lit up from behind, so bright'll make you go blind Hypnotizing every eye that sees its red aura blazing Held captive by the allure My heart got tangled up bad and now it's frayed No matter how much I've learned I understand that my anger's here to stay The words rush out Let's run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage Let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flame Though my anger exhausts me and I fall apart My actions may cost me but I can't let go of the past, I refuse to move on I know if you would listen, you would understand It's time you entered into this bad Dreamland you made for me And suffer like I have So let's run wild! Release your rage Let the winds of wrath blow them away Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance I'm not playin' the victim no more Time to go rage Let's punish them all For their love; I'm done trying to trust Not gonna live in compliance-iance-iance Gonna play with fire, backlit by the flame
