Human Nature

written by: OurSacredHonor

The wind's whistle makes the leaves whisper
I hear the voices
You're talkin behind my back
Hearing Footsteps behind me
Paranoia
And panic attacks
Frustration and worry
Always in a hurry
Scurry along
Like robots or rats
You never could get sight of that
Or anything for that matter
Matter of fact
You just react
Speak first but minimize the casualties
Ignoring all of your own subtle frailties
But in the end I guess I can't hate ya
After all, it's just human nature

You
You are the reason
No
No matter the season
You
You keep this going
You
You live not knowing
You're perpetuating the cycle
Just keep perpetuating the cycle

The summer sun scorches and you can't take the glare
Can't take the way your own two eyes stare
Back at you in the mirror so sharply
You turn away cuz you can't hardly
Look yourself in the face
You misplaced disgrace to the human race
You stay on pace and run with the pack
Always afraid to turn off the track
Take your own path, lead instead of follow
But you're pride's too hard to swallow
So you'll choke on it's broken shards when it shatters
But in all actuality it doesn't really matter
Matter of fact
You just reenact
All you see before you like a replay
You'll never learn to live your life in a different way
But in the end I guess I can't hate ya
After all, it's just human nature

You
You are the reason
No
No matter the season
You
You keep this going
You
You live not knowing
You're perpetuating the cycle
Just keep perpetuating the cycle

Veil your own eyes with your ignorance
You can't catch on to all the subtle hints
Summer and Fall, Winter and Spring
Perpetuate the cycle and you'll never live up to anything!

You
You are the reason
No
No matter the season
You
You keep this going
You
You live not knowing
You're perpetuating the cycle
Just keep perpetuating the cycle
Keep perpetuating the cycle
Perpetuating the cycle
The cycle
Cycle
Cycle
Cycle
Cycle
