Naturally Violent
It's like a throbbing stab to the throat
A million little blades, in and out
They said they would be faithful
They meant they would cheat
And for no justified reason
He's now missing three teeth
I felt him at the extent of my arm
And this overtaking sensation filled my head
It made me crave more and want less
I realize what I have done to him
Hospitals and the prices to pay for their mistakes
Neither they nor I had to pay them
Only the guy I never knew
But brought to near death by my hands
I've been brought to our primitive roots
Of killing, violence, and the thirst for blood
I became more uncivilized than any other
I became human
