lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm running out of fuel, feeling empty again
With the same regrets that
Have stolen away my sanity
Slowly losing respect for what we've all been
When humans refuse they're losing
Against their own humanity

[Chorus]
Conquered by nature, we're stealing and stealing
And nothing is safe from our hands
So how can you blame us, who really believe in
Excuses we don't understand

Shaped by the failures, we're kneeling and healing
And nothing is safe from our hands
How can we escape from this feeling that's killing us
Straight from the inside again

[Verse 2]
It seems harder to accept what's been left unsaid
And it seems so hard to judge
If we deserve the trial
Who makes the decisions when conscience is dead
Who helps all the destined to live in
The land of lies and denial

[Chorus]
Conquered by nature, we're stealing and stealing
And nothing is safe from our hands
So how can you blame us, who really believe in
Excuses we don't understand

Shaped by the failures, we're kneeling and healing
And nothing is safe from our hands
How can we escape from this feeling that's killing us
Straight from the inside again

[Bridge]
All in all, it's just our nature
To destroy and kill our enemies and friends
With others' actions and our intentions
We judge everything we cannot comprehend

[Pre-chorus]
Now I'm feeling like an animal
More and more, the more I
Seem to know about myself

[Chorus]
Conquered by nature, we're stealing and stealing
And nothing is safe from our hands
So how can you blame us, who really believe in
Excuses we don't understand

Shaped by the failures, we're kneeling and healing
And nothing is safe from our hands
How can we escape from this feeling that's killing us
Straight from the inside again
