lyrics

My instincts are the enemy
I warned you
I’ve damaged good inside of me
I need you to translate all the colors that I can’t see
I think I’m in trouble
Can you explain why all the reds look green to me?

With my nerves exposed I can’t say no

My instincts are the enemy
I warned you
I’ve malevolence inside of me
I need you
I want to taste a little bit of everything
It gets me in trouble
To fill my plate with the vacant and obscene

With my nerves exposed I can’t say no

I’m paralyzed
Engaged in a civil war
What can I do?
Either way I lose and you lose too

The days are nights and the nights are unbearable
What can I do?
I’m chained to this mood and you’re chained to me

I keep asking different questions
The same answer I receive
I need you more than ever to tell me what you see
