Extinct by Instinct

Stuck in the past

The future is too open ended (too open ended)

I can't miss

Something that never existed (never existed)

I'll keep persisting

The outcomes don't always go my way

I still can't cover them, and make them gray

The outcomes don't always go my way

I will let decisions lie where they may

When I blur the lines

I don't have to focus

Shrug my shoulders

That's just how it goes, I guess

Diving headfirst into indifference

I'll take on everything over feeling anything

Positive impacts are meaningless

If I don't tolerate the pain of the negative

Something I had to learn

Was how to show care and concern

You won't hear that your plea

Will never be

I'm shaken to the core

Paralyzed by reality

I'll curl up

And hide inside

This is my shelter

To escape in

In here I disappear

Where there is no fear

Stuck in the past

The future is too open ended (too open ended)

I can't miss something

That never existed (never existed)

I never thought I'd have it inside

To decide what is right for myself

Proof of this selfishness that won't leave

Crushing until we can't breath

Its grip held firm

Its grip held firm

One day it lets go

One day it lets go

I need you to forgive me
