Instinct

So I'll write these words now

for you my friend

here after all this time

we may never sing this one

it's just here as a light to help you

When the power goes out

like the moments you might

shake yourself awake

from those horrible dreams

the only ones we never talk about

The glare of madness

in grown-ups’ eyes

the rage that takes

the whole room

by surprise

this vicious trap

the male cultural disguise

is the one we fight against

We Go, We Go, We Go

the one we fight against

We Go, We Go, We Go

So I'll write these words now

for you my friend

here after all this time

we may never sing this one

it’s just here

as a light to help you

The sickness

the silence

as you hide in your room

wishing so hard they'd forget

you're alive

but

you're alive

so the sight of broken things

won't mean a pound of flesh

and the time you speak up

won't be repaid by fists

praying not to be missed

the night you ran away

We Go, We Go, We Go

the night you ran away

We Go, We Go, We Go

So I'll write these words now

for you my friend

here after all this time

we may never sing this one

it’s just here

as a light to help you

This violence passes for

an apology

the trickle down

in our society

This is for the peace

you never had

This is for the peace

we never had

This is for the peace

we never had

How do we guard the door

against your Dad?

We go, We go, We go

the night you ran away

We go, We go, We go

So I'll write these words now

for you my friend

here after all this time

we may never sing this one

it’s just here

as a light to help you
