Lyrics
Primal
Lyrics & Melody by E.Theo King
Original 2003
Verse:
When Illusions fall.
Get out of the way.
When courting an eagle
Make sure love is the egg.
On a moonlit night
You told me that your love had gone away.
Like a claw that strikes
You left me for dead that day.
Chorus:
Primal.
Devouring mem' ries of reason.
Been a lonely fight
Searching to find my way.
Taking your love from my life.
You left only tears to rule me.
Cause when you're "primal"
Innocents feel the pain.
Verse:
Back then, your tongue wet my lips;
Kiss renewed me.
Now, I'm trapped by a cage, made of things I can't say.
Rage and regret;...barely in check.
Emotions,.......that won't let me go. Cause when you're
Chorus:
Primal.
Prowling my mem' ries for reason.
Oh those lonely nights
Searching to find my way.
You took your love from my life.
And left only tears to rule me.
You were "primal"
Innocents feel the pain.
Final Chorus:
Primal.
Prowling my mem' ries for reason.
Primal...I don't want to go that way.
...Not that way
Primal...Prowling my mem' ries for reason.
Primal...But, I don't want to go that way.
