Lyrics

Selfish Side (Demo)

You never need to tune my mind

I cannot deny it

Let them drag my soul away

My body won't remind them

'Cause I've been motivated by

Living on the selfish side

I'm made to be the survivor

I'm pushing me before you

I'm taking too much from the hand that feeds me

Push my way right through

'Cause I've been motivated by

Living on the selfish side

Whatever bleeds into my mind

I cannot deny them

Let them drag my soul away

My body, go behind them

'Cause I've been motivated by

Living on the selfish side

I've been motivated by

Living on the selfish side
