lyrics

Aggression

It’s all a matter of physics; action and reaction wise;
when someone is odious or repressive
to respond with equal force or size.
Anger can lead to more anger, intensifying what you assert
till things get out of control
and you or someone else gets hurt.
The tendency to strike back after being pushed so long, you’re through;
as you choose the dark side over reason
and let aggression take over you.

When push comes to shove, things have a sad way of getting out of hand,
until the outcome becomes uncertain
all sides fraught to take command.
If adrenalin levels come down and you pick yourself up off the floor;
you find you have to ask yourself
is this a hill worth dying for.
There’s a window, a defining moment where you decide what you will do;
either run away or move down that road
to let aggression rule over you.

It can be a mistake, a selfish moment or a simple word misunderstood,
or someone cut’s you off on the freeway
or someone is treading on your livelihood.
You can defy the forces of nature, not be subject to anger’s flow
to recognize another’s faults, like yours
and with empathy and just let things go.
But to allow your anger to intensify; an eye single to the plan you’ll pursue as you act and react with malice intent,
and let aggression take over you.
