Story Behind The Song
It's about a friend of mine from college who is a bit of an enigma to all of us.
Song Description
It's about someone who pushes his emotions down so much that when anger or grief arrives it's as if his veneer cracks and his true vulnerable little boy shows.

Lyrics
Confronting one?s own supremacy is a difficult situation
Happiness is not complacency or emotional masturbation
Hold it to the prism; truth and pain live so close together
Emotional masochism, fighting intentionally for our deeper pleasure
Raking joy down the cheek of The Raging Bull
I wish I?d gotten to know The Raging Bull
Controlling lives in silence behind your charasmatic eyes
Will not bring control to those thoughts that you despise inside your mind
Forcing back the tears only builds the violent impact of these hidden fears
Raking joy down the cheek of The Raging Bull
I wish I?d gotten to know The Raging Bull
I can see the cracks splitting in your walls
If you tell me your secrets I won?t let you fall
