Prompts and Lyrics

Break, tear, release.  Why should I keep my anger to myself?

What can you not forgive?

What is anger to you? What does it feel like, smell like, taste like? How do you use it?

Tell someone to shut the fuck up.

You can't silence me/us.

Rage is sacred, rage sparks change, rage is resistance. What do you want to change? 

Does rage empower you or drown you?

 I'm not a fucking child. I won't apologize.
