Lyrics Alice Merton

Alice Merton

Lash Out

I can feel it on the back of my tongue

All of the words, getting trapped in my lungs

Heavy like a stone, waiting for the river to run

I wanna lash out!

I wanna let it out!

'Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue

On the back of my tongue, oh, oh, oh

Oh, hard to hold

This fire inside me

Oh, I know

sometimes it’s frightening

Hard to hold

This fire inside me

Oh, o-oh

It’s not really like me

To lash out!

I gotta let it out!

I wanna lash out!

I wanna lash out!

I've got something to say

Might start a riot

Rip that tape from my mouth

I won’t be quiet

Cause everything is nothing

Till you realise it’s something you want

I wanna lash out!

I wanna let it out!

'Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue

On the back of my tongue, oh, oh, oh

Oh, hard to hold

This fire inside me

Oh, I know

sometimes it’s frightening

Hard to hold

This fire inside me

Oh, o-oh

It’s not really like met

To lash out!

I gotta let it out!

I wanna lash out!

I gotta let it out!

I can't be the cork, come out of the bottle

I can't be the cork, come out of the bottle

I can't be the cork, come out of the bottle

I can't be the cork, come out of the bottle

Lash out!

I wanna let it out!

'Cause I can feel it on the back of my tongue

On the back of my tongue, oh, oh, oh

Oh, hard to hold

This fire inside me

Oh, I know

sometimes it’s frightening

Hard to hold

This fire inside me

Oh, o-oh

It’s not really like me

To lash out!

I wanna let it out!

I wanna lash out!

I wanna let it out!

I gotta lash out!
