lyrics

Face to face with, A violent invitation. Your clenched jaw lashing out quietly.
This primal realization, demanding my full attention. A siren breaks through the silence, hushed tones of withheld violence.

Adrenaline. As tension deadens the air.
And as the pressure in my chest tightens, the fire inside me begins to brighten.
Shivering anticipation.
And now I'm standing on the edge with bated breath, waiting for the last straw to be pulled.
Endorphins running through my veins. As instinct whispers in my ear. Violence.

Summoning the monstrosity repressed inside. My reflexive retaliation repeatedly landing viciously. The rush of the bloodlust, momentarily, overcoming me.

Adrenaline. As tension deadens the air.
This primal realization, demanding my full attention. A siren breaks through the silence, hushed tones of withheld violence.

Slashing out wildly, I feel the cold steel piercing me.
The knife you wield in your contempt, embodying hostile intent.
Strikes landing heavily, as we wrestle for control of the knife.
The reflection of the blade voices a choice to spare or take your life.
I will embrace this vivid malevolence.
Rage, drives me, to vengeance. A splash of crimson paints the world. Red.

Bloody from the struggle, your life begins to drain, from the hole I opened in your chest.
The splattering of your blood painting the world. Crimson!
