Song Lyrics

"Instigator"

by Dogwood
Album: Reverse, Then Forward Again

In misery I can see, the bodies surrounding me
We slowly sterilize the treasures that we came to set free
Bolts in the the sky are the coming of death
The children scream as their families (are)
Put to rest by the bullets spray

I look around and I find
That there's no reason for this
How would pride give an offer that we can't resist *
Its not our job to protect
The world is suffocating
An instigator, is concentrating

Where is the honor in the killing of an innocent son
I am a patriot alone with a helmet and gun
Its all inside, murder, without regard or regret
I am the slayer of the people whom I never have met

I look around and I find
That there's no reason for this
How would pride give an offer that we can't resist *
Its not our job to protect
The world is suffocating
And instigator, is operating

Now we lose control, I want to go it again
I cannot forget the bloody mess that I made
Its not my job to correct,
I wonder has this claimed me
The instigator, is violating

(we're all)
Fear will take us all to the unknown
Forced to process all my thoughts blindly
My words will fall on deaf ears again
(no the won't accept it)
Secrecy will keep me sworn to death

I try, pretend, I can't forget
I close my eyes, I die inside
These scars, they stay
Don't go away
We killed the worst of the best
And we let God sort the rest
I try, pretend, I will forget
I close my eyes, I die inside
These scars, they stay
Don't go away
The instigator
Was made an enemy of me of me today
