All Ears

Came by to make you angrier again.
Gonna try and make you angrier enough.
I'm all ears now
Volunteer how I'm gonna find a way to keep this civilized.

It helps if you just tell me what to say.
It'd help if you'd just tell me anything.
I'm all ears now
Volunteer how,
I'm not asking anymore,
I'm not asking anymore
How I'm gonna find a way to keep this civilized.

If you fall back
On anger now
Swear you are forgiven.
Your anger suits you:
It makes you…beautiful.
Gives you confidence to come at me
With more than your bare hands.

Not here to break you,
But all the words tonight are careful,
Chosen, pert, and kind.
Trying to say that I…
Trying to say that I…
Trying to say that I've stopped trying.

If you rise above,
If you rise at all,
Probably be now.
