Instinct Songtext
von LEASHES

They taught me I could be anything
They told me I could say anything I like
They said that I could fly, if I would only try
And I′d be everything they wanted
My future is approaching fast
And the past has a nasty way of catching up
I've done every damn thing they ever asked
And it′ll never be enough

But the person they say I should be
Looks nothing like the truth of me
The path that they provide is paved with violence
So I'll find my way by


Instinct
Every road outstretched before me's
Just a story written for me by the fates
And I won′t take it
Instinct
Every choice becomes a corridor
Conforming to the shape of my mistakes
And I can′t escape it

They told me I could have everything
Young teeth, sharp mind, say anything I like
I never had to try, just sit, and nod, and smile
I gave them everything they wanted
My ending is approaching fast
And the cast of the shadows
(I thought I lit them up)
I've done everything they wanted
Now I′m haunted, and it's still not enough

But the person they say I should be
Looks nothing like the truth of me
The path that they provide is paved with violence
So I′ll find my way by


Instinct
Every road outstretched before me's
Just a story written for me by the fates
And I won′t take it
Instinct
Every choice becomes a corridor
Conforming to the shape of my mistakes
And I can't escape it

Instinct
Find my way by
Instinct

Instinct
