Lyrics

[Verse 1]

My instincts are the enemy

I warned you

I've damaged good inside of me

Need you

[Verse 2]

Translate all the colors that I can't see

I think I'm in trouble

You explain why all the reds look green to me

With my nerves exposed, I can't say no

[Verse 3]

My instincts are the enemy

I warned you

I've malevolence inside of me

I need you

[Verse 4]

I wanna taste a little bit of everything

But it gets me in trouble

To fill my plate with the vacant and obscene

With my nerves exposed, I can't say no

[Verse 5]

Paralyzed, engaged in civil war

What can I do?

Either way, I lose

You lose, too

[Verse 6]

Day are nights and nights are unbearable

What can I do?

Chained to this mood

You're chained to me

[Verse 7]

Keep asking different questions

The same answer I receive

I need you more than ever

Tell me what you've seen
