Instinct


In these ashes I lay
confused, still, and burned
I feel my insides screaming
and crying, my pain has been earned

I distill
by my will
And I wait inside my cage
here I hold
in Flesh Manifold
Years and years of undying rage

I break my place, and stand and face
these lies that I've held in
For all I am, for best I can
Is a soldier fighting my sin
So I can live, so I can die, and be who I
want to be
No one in my way to hold me back, or I set my
demon's free
So here I am, holding in hand, a weapon
unmatched by guns
I use my fists, I use my mind, I use anything
to get the job done
A 2x4, knocking on your door, now you prey
save yourself
This is the price of your self oppression
you constructed your own HELL
Now who laughs, now who cries, the last
word is said and done
No one knows, how far I'll go, to make sure
my wars are won
