Anger
m.c.A・T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take off my halo
Got some shit to say, so
Dadadadada
Listen to me speak though
Take off your armor
I am the martyr
Petty convictions
Well, please try harder
Y'all wanna gaslight
But I won't be polite
I'll lock my bedroom
Door every damn night
Break away, break all of the chains
Throw my heels, rip my lingerie
Burn the bridges that I helped create
Fuck shit up and get the fuck away
Anger doesn't age well
So what the hell
Am I to do
Anger doesn't age well
So what the hell
Am I to do
Anger doesn't age well
So what the hell
Am I to do
Anger doesn't age well
And I can tell
It hasn't for you
I got my lipstick
And dark eyeliner
Wearing black outfits
Like all the time-r
Heels in the gravel
Watch you unravel
Sex and aggression
More than you can handle
Fucking defensive
And plain offensive
My middle finger's
My new apprentice
Don't let them control you
Don't let them control you
Don't let them control you
Never let them control you
Break away, break all of the chains
Throw my heels, rip my lingerie
Burn the bridges that I helped create
Fuck shit up and get the fuck away
Anger doesn't age well
So what the hell
Am I to do
Anger doesn't age well
So what the hell
Am I to do
Anger doesn't age well
So what the hell
Am I to do
Anger doesn't age well




And I can tell
It hasn't for you
