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
