Hot Coals

from Bardic Dharma by Barefoot Bran

/

lyrics

He said she said they said
Something mean about me
Now I’m way more angry
Than I oughtta be

The passion burns inside me
A craving for revenge
But history will show ya
It never works in the end

Cuz anger’s just like a hot coal
That you just wanna throw
Oh, no matter where it lands
You end up burning your hands
(X2)

Anger gets to all of us
Sometimes we want to make a fuss
We go off like an unaimed rocket
An out of control electrical socket

Whoa-oh, I’m not saying anger is bad
It’s only when we start to react
So, hold anger at arm’s length
And see the pain that it creates

Cuz anger’s just like a hot coal
That you just wanna throw
Oh, no matter where it lands
You end up burning your hands
(X2)

Keep your seat, that’s all you’ve gotta do
Be there for the anger rising up in you
You don’t gotta bottle it up, but don’t let it erupt
See it for what it truly is, and no matter what happens, sit with it

Cuz anger’s just like a hot coal
That you just wanna throw
Oh, no matter where it lands
You end up burning your hands
(X2)

Cuz anger’s just like a hot coal
That you just wanna throw
Oh, no matter where it lands
You end up burning your hands
(X2)
