Lyrics: We both got lost And it cost the days All fucked up In a different shade of grey And I belong here I belong here Singe my tongue On these hateful words Blood runs dry But my body yearns to stay here Cause I belong here I'm addicted to the punishment Punishment Try not to listen to the voices Telling me run Even though I know I'm innocent Innocent I believe I belong here Now you hide behind Your mask of prey Pretend to love But inside you hate always Do you belong here You don't belong here Bite my tongue When I speak this curse Blood runs cold And my body hurts to be here But I belong here I'm addicted to the punishment Punishment Try not to listen to the voices Telling me run Even though I know I'm innocent Innocent I believe I belong here I believe I belong here I'm addicted to the punishment Try not to listen to the voices Telling me run Even though I know I'm innocent Innocent I believe I belong here I believe I belong heremore

Track 1 of Theriaca's debut album 'A Different Shade of Grey' NOW STREAMING on your favorite service! Lyrics: GO Phase this out, Just to replay, All the fear inside; Erase all doubt, Replace the walls, And fortify; What makes you think, That you can take this all away? What makes you think, What makes you think, That you can disobey? CHORUS Build your castles from these shifting sands, And wait for war with the tides-- While the oceans rise; I don't think we'll ever understand, Place your bets, Tell me, are we civilized yet? Cast about, For all the tools, To bring our own or demise, Lift the veils, To ease the pressure, Still we crack the sky; What makes you think, That you can take this all away? What makes you think, What makes you think, That you could ever change? (Chorus) PRESSURE! IT'S BUILDING UP IN ME! SEVER! EVERY VIOLENT MEMORY!more
