Nature, was I born at a loss
Was I mistaken to think I could give it up
Maybe it’s a dark seed planted too deep inside me
Its buried far below but I water it constantly
Cause every time I thought I’d escaped it
It just keeps coming back up
And every time I thought I could break it
It just keeps coming back up
Is it a tragedy, a tragedy?
Is it a tragedy?
I hide it in the dark, never let the enemy win
Because its only human nature
to hurt the ones who let you in
Whispered in silent violence against women
It’s in the history of powers corrupt
So I shut the walls around me
And open myself wide up
Cause every time I thought I’d escaped it
It just keeps coming back up
And every time I thought I could break it
It just keeps coming back up
Oooh ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Oooh ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Is it something deep inside
A dark seed I can’t see
I try to drown it out
But I water it constantly
Is it something deep inside
A dark seed I can’t see
I try to drown it out
But I water it constantly
Oooh ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
Oooh ooh ooh oh oh oh oh
