Words
Lyrics
Power and strength and appetite
I eat your loathing hate and fear
Should probably stay away from here
Hey look what’s staring back at you
Caught reflecting in your eyes
Well I’m becoming something new
It’s getting hard to recognize
New world
New times
Mutation
I tried a bit then I tried some more
I left her on the bathroom floor
I think I knew when it crossed the line
I think I knew the whole goddamned time
Hey look what’s staring back at you
Caught reflecting in your eyes
I’m becoming something new
It’s getting hard to recognize
New world
New times
Mutation
Feels all right
