lyrics

I'm chained like an animal, fight the bars of my cage
Enslaved by the face of insecurity
Two tigers fight to stay a whisker ahead
What's the price? What's the consequence?
What was said? What have I done wrong
To earn a torrent of relentless scorn?
Powerful. Mindblowing.
Can't stop the lashes from coming

Somewhere inside, fear internalised
The past was cruel, weren't sure who's who
Your trust, I've failed
My sin's true scale
What's done, can't change
Permanent stain

Permanent stain
Or just a game you have to win
Too stubborn to give in

The smile falls off of my face
My instinct, so callous, unsafe
My anger, I can't subdue
No reason, my wish, your doom

Endless cycle, push and pull
Set me up, for the fall
Need me to submit, not gonna swallow your shit
Provocative, gets under my skin
Once more, you'll know
I'll lay you low

Far too much at stake
Oppressive unnatural state
Another injury, I'll add them up
I'll suffer for who I love
