ALICE MERTON – Lash Out

“Lash Out” is featured on Alice Merton’s album Mint (2019).

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, hard to hold This fire inside me Oh, I know sometimes it’s frightening Hard to hold This fire inside me Oh, 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, hard to hold This fire inside me Oh, I know Sometimes it’s frightening Hard to hold This fire inside me Oh, oh It’s not really like me To lash out I gotta let it out I wanna lash out I gotta let it out

I can feel the cork come out of the bottle I can feel the cork come out of the bottle I can feel the cork come out of the bottle I can feel 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, hard to hold This fire inside me Oh, I know Sometimes it’s frightening Hard to hold This fire inside me Oh, 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!
