Intro: (Spoken or sung softly)
In the shadows of choices made,
Where the line between right and wrong starts to fade,
They hide behind nature's cruel design,
But is instinct really what’s driving the crime?
Verse 1:
He said it was just a thrill,
Lost in the moment, chasing the chill.
Caught in the heat of a primal call,
But did he ever think about the fall?
What’s the price for a fleeting rush?
Lives torn apart in a reckless hush.
Chorus:
Just instinct, they say, as they play the game,
Hiding behind excuses, never taking the blame.
But the heart of the matter, it stays the same,
What’s lost in the shadows can never reclaim.
Verse 2:
From alleyways dark to the glint of the street,
Their reasons are hollow, just admit defeat.
They’re breaking the law, thinking no one will see,
But consequences linger like a ghost in the plea.
What about the trust that shatters apart?
Instinct won't heal a broken heart.
Chorus:
Just instinct, they say, as they play the game,
Hiding behind excuses, never taking the blame.
But the heart of the matter, it stays the same,
What’s lost in the shadows can never reclaim.
Bridge:
What if we rise above the beast inside?
Confront our actions instead of letting them slide?
Can we bend this instinct, turn chaos to peace?
Find a way to let the madness cease.
Chorus:
Just instinct, they say, as they play the game,
Hiding behind excuses, never taking the blame.
But the heart of the matter, it stays the same,
What’s lost in the shadows can never reclaim.
Outro:
So here we stand, no more to pretend,
Instinct won’t save you when it’s all at an end.
Let’s break the cycle, find a new light,
And trade in that instinct for what’s truly right.
