Lyrics As Blood Runs Black

As Blood Runs Black

Instinct

I knew that this was the last thing

This was the last thing that I had to prove

Have all my struggles amused you?

This was the hardest thing to do

I chewed through the chains

With broken teeth in my mouth I was finally free

Free in my own mind (free in my own mind)

But I was always trapped inside

I will escape from this cage and extend my broken wings

I will escape from this cage and extend my wings

I walked out on everything that I ever knew and now

And now I find myself cold and alone

Searching for strength

The strength to stand on my own two feet

Approaching the edge, taking the leap

A leap of faith with my broken wings

As I rise to my feet I realize

I should be standing up for myself

Why haven’t you? What do you have to lose?

When there is so much to gain

I will escape from this cage and extend my broken wings

I will escape from this cage and extend my wings

Why haven’t you? What do you have to lose?

When there is so much to gain
