THE RAGE OF A FOOL (THE CONFRONTATION)

THE RAGE OF A FOOL (THE CONFRONTATION)

He's frustrated, he can no longer hold it back 
Tired of being pushed, he's on the attack 
Tired of being the nice guy, he becomes so mean 
Everything is moving so slow, like it's a dream 
They pushed him too far, blaming him for something he didn't do 
He replies in anger, and his boss yells at him too 
He's told to go to the main office and wait 
The only thoughts in his mind were pure anger and hate
Another manager came in as his boss tells the story 
A story that was wrong that only made him more stormy 
He wasn't allowed to talk, they told him to go home 
He always knew in this life he was all alone
Anger wells up and he stares at the books on the shelf 
In a rage he gets up and says he's going to kill himself. 
He storms out the building with managers in pursuit 
He peels out of the place as he's anger goes through the roof 
He makes it home as he contemplates suicide
He probably lost his job, he's really done it this time 
Punching walls in rage until his knuckles bled 
He truly has nothing now, he wishes he was dead
Calls from work went on unanswered and ignored 
His only reason for living is gone, he can't take it anymore 
On the verge of falling away forever and losing his  mind
He dials the number of a suicide hotline 
He grabs a knife and slowly digs it in his wrist 
There's no reason to live, no reason to exist
Slowly they talk him out of death somehow 
With his job in limbo, what is he going to do now?
