  • 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
    All I know, sometimes it's frightening
    Hard to hold this fire inside me
    Oh, 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 got something to say, might start a riot
    Rip that tape from my mouth, I won't be quiet
    'Cause everything is nothing
    'Til 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
    All I know, sometimes it's frightening
    Hard to hold this fire inside me
    Oh, 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't be the cork, come out of the bottle
    I can't be the cork, come out of the bottle
    I can't be the cork, come out of the bottle
    I can't be 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
    All I know, sometimes it's frightening
    Hard to hold this fire inside me
    Oh, 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 Writer/s: Alice Merton, Dave Richard Bassett
