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!
