i've watched you in the days of sorrow
held you in the days of pain
says there seemed like no tommorrow
now i see it all again
you've tasted fear you taste it now
a flavor oh so bittersweet
i always ever wondered how
that you could see inside of me
  am i holding you now
i watch your solace disappear
fading faster every day
nervous breakdown is drawing near
and you can't make it go away
still the anger burns within you
still control is seeping out
i can hear it deep inside you
whisper turns into a shout
  is it holding you down
    rage against the fall
    you see through it all
    rage against what's true
    what's inside of you
i know the path of perserverence
a path of bent and broken dreams
a path of wanting so relentless
never-ending so it seems
take hold of that deep insistence
take hold of all the fear you find
take hold and you begin to resist it
take hold or start to decline
  am i holding you now
    rage against the fall
    you see through it all
    rage against what's true
    what's inside of you
