Asking Alexandria - In My Blood Lyrics

Asking Alexandria Lyrics

"In My Blood"

I felt like a monster in a church
Trying to hide from the pain I bring
My visceral urges, getting worse
Looking for a sign somewhere I missed

Because the hole deep within me kept growing and poisoning my blood
Then in that moment alone in the dirt, I understood

That every time I close my eyes I'm overwhelmed by
Visions of something that's bigger than
Moving mountains, parting oceans
And I've got the whole world in front of me
I'll be a giant
I am defiant
It's in my blood

I wasn't a monster and this ain't a church
You can't trust the blind to keep you clean
I saw my future from a hearse
That wasn't the life meant for me

Because the hole deep within me kept growing and poisoning my blood
Then in that moment alone in the dirt, I understood

That every time I close my eyes I'm overwhelmed by
Visions of something that's bigger than
Moving mountains, parting oceans
And I've got the whole world in front of me
I'll be a giant
I am defiant
It's in my blood

I'm not stuck inside this place
The only thing that's keeping me here
Are the walls that I built myself
I've got a dream to chase
So I'm not wasting a moment
Tryna hold on to nothing

'Cause every time I close my eyes I'm overwhelmed by
Visions of something much bigger than
Moving mountains, parting oceans
And I've got the whole world in front of me
I'll be a giant
I am defiant
It's in my blood

"This is an incredibly important and powerful song within this record, and I really feel as though people will find themselves within in. It starts by looking back at the people that we were and the people that were around us and the chemicals that we were allowing to influence us. Then as you get to the chorus you hear that even back then, I knew that this wasn't us and we carried on working through the bullshit to get to where we are now. Then when you get to the second verse it's the realisation that we weren't monsters and that wasn't the life we had to live." - Ben Bruce.
