Warm Insurrection by Conrad Keely Lyrics
[Verse]
I look around in the morning at the waves
As they bleed into the shore and I long to be one of them
They make me feel like a warm insurrection
As our revolution died in her arms
I used to cower in the face of friends
I used to want to be loved
Wanted to be just as accepted as them
I blamed my fortunes for my pain and grief
I used my anger to explain the abyss
I wanted all to look up to me
I built a wall to hide myself behind
I used to cringe at the thought of death
I used to think it was something I couldn't accept
I killed my dreams one failure at a time
I resembled the mask inside I had created in my mind
I was blind
I had been undermined
I was distracted by a need to feel original
I had to fuel the beast
[Chorus]
But then it turned on me
I had to shut it out, but then it started begging me
Begging me
Begging me
Begging me
[Outro]
Won't you please come out
Won't you open up the gates and let it burn in me
I will release the angry beast and let it burn in me
I will open up the flame and let it burn in me
I will swallow up my grief and let it burn in me
I will swallow up the sun and let it burn in me
And I will drink up all the sea and let it boil in me
Boil in me
I will swallow all my grief and let it burn in me
I look around in the morning at the waves
As they bleed into the shore and I long to be one of them
They make me feel like a warm insurrection
As our revolution died in her arms
I used to cower in the face of friends
I used to want to be loved
Wanted to be just as accepted as them
I blamed my fortunes for my pain and grief
I used my anger to explain the abyss
I wanted all to look up to me
I built a wall to hide myself behind
I used to cringe at the thought of death
I used to think it was something I couldn't accept
I killed my dreams one failure at a time
I resembled the mask inside I had created in my mind
I was blind
I had been undermined
I was distracted by a need to feel original
I had to fuel the beast
[Chorus]
But then it turned on me
I had to shut it out, but then it started begging me
Begging me
Begging me
Begging me
[Outro]
Won't you please come out
Won't you open up the gates and let it burn in me
I will release the angry beast and let it burn in me
I will open up the flame and let it burn in me
I will swallow up my grief and let it burn in me
I will swallow up the sun and let it burn in me
And I will drink up all the sea and let it boil in me
Boil in me
I will swallow all my grief and let it burn in me
