"Instincts" lyrics

"Instincts"

Entitled in the worst way
You can flex your muscles all you want, it's your stage
You stay drunk on the attention, tense and
Knowing you could snap at any moment

I came here to have fun
Maybe flick my wrists down
Maybe take my mask off
Maybe cool your jets now

Sweat down my forehead, flick it away
I can read your lips, I know what you're saying

So don't judge me if my voice gets deep
I'm just trying to survive
I will scratch and bite and bare my teeth
I'm just trying to survive
I got instincts, they don't lie

Pulling on my shirt, desperate to fit in
Insufficiently masculine, a little under the average
Height, weight, shoe size, ooh my, no surprise
I rely on watching out the corner of my
Eye-I-I-I

I came here to have fun
Maybe take my mask off
Maybe flick my wrists down
Maybe you should back off
Jacket on, back to reality
There's 30 more of you waiting in the street

So don't judge me if my voice gets deep
I'm just trying to survive
I will scratch and bite and bare my teeth
I'm just trying to survive
I got instincts, they don't lie
Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie

Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie

Threw the first punch for the first time in my whole life, my whole life
Threw the first punch for the first time in my whole life, my whole life
Threw the first punch for the first time in my whole life, my whole life
Threw the first punch for the first time in my whole life, my whole life

So don't judge me if my voice gets deep
I'm just trying to survive
I will scratch and bite and bare my teeth
I'm just trying to survive
I got instincts, they don't lie
Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie

Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie

Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie

Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie
Lie lie lie
