All ears

Came by to make you angrier again.
Gonna try to make you angrier enough,
I'm all ears now.
Volunteer how I'm
Gonna' find a way to keep this civilized.

It'd help if you'd just tell me what to say.
It'd help if you'd just tell me anything.
I'm all ears now.
Volunteer how,
I'm not askin' anymore.
I'm not askin' anymore how
I'm gonna find a way to keep this civilized.

You fall back
On anger now,
Swear you are forgiven.
Your anger suits you,
It makes you beautiful
Gives you confidence
To come at me with more than your bare hands.
Not here to break you,
But all the words tonight are careful, chosen, hurting kind;
I'm tryin' to say that I, I'm tryin' to say that I,
I'm tryin' to say that I've stopped tryin'.
If you rise above,
If you rise at all,
It'll probably be now.
