"Possession" lyrics

"Possession"

I'm a-, I'm a-
I'm a runaway
Blood red, running through my veins
Fought fire with fire still in my chains
Paid a good price but I still want my change

I'm a-, I'm a-
I'm a foreign name
Don't fit in your mouth easily
So mark it code red red let the horn sound
Tolerate zero till I'm off of your ground

I'm born between the lines
By no fault of mine
This land is who's to love?
Feel like an animal and an automatic machine
I'm an animal and a part of the machine

Set me up to fall
Back against the wall
Surrender all I have
And bend my will till I cave in
Push me to the side
I won't go asking why
No crime I can confess
You make me into your possession

Love it or leave it
Love it or leave it

Karma, karma
Karma written inside of their hands
I'm an outcast even in my Mother-land
So take it back
Take it back

Only you
Only you
Can mark it code red red let the horn sound
Tolerate zero till I'm off of your ground

Set me up to fall
Back against the wall
Surrender all I have
And bend my will till I cave in
Push me to the side
I won't go asking why
No crime I can confess
You make me into your possession

You make me into your possession
You make me into your possession
