Bad Nature
Nerv Lyrics

You and me are just bad nature
We are inherently flawed and prone to destructive behavior.

We play this game of kill or compromise
Our interactions are characterized by aggression or compromise.

With crooked aim, you shoot between the eyes
You are deceitful and aim to hurt me.

We want it, we need it, but we can't outrun the feeling
We have a strong desire for something that we are unable to escape or resist.

So here we stay, in pieces for the prize
Our pursuit of that desire has left us broken and fragmented.

Is this what you want now?
Are you content with the current situation?

Why can't you let this be?
Why can't you leave things as they are?

I think that it's over
I believe that this relationship is finished.

But I know better
But I understand that you will probably return.

You'll come back around
You are likely to return to this dysfunctional relationship.

Can't fake it 'til I make it
I cannot pretend to be something that I am not until I become that person.

Someone say what it is I need 'cause
I need someone to tell me what it is that I require.

I'm jaded and I hate it
I am cynical and disillusioned, and I despise this aspect of myself.

I believe-I believe
Despite my doubts, I still have faith.

This mess of me is the me you want to see, yeah
You are only interested in the flawed version of myself.

I can't fake it, fucking face it
I cannot pretend anymore, I must confront the reality of the situation.

I see no pain looking in your eyes
Despite the hurt you have caused, you do not appear to feel remorse.

It still remains with nothing left inside
The pain and emptiness remain, even after our interactions have ended.

I don't want it, but I need it, where my heart is meant to be, yeah
I do not desire this pain, but it seems to be an essential part of my emotional makeup.

So take your aim, 'cause it makes me feel alive
Despite the pain, the intensity of our interactions is addictive.

And all I wanna be is crumbling down with you
I want to be destroyed along with this unhealthy relationship.

How can I let this one go?
How can I give up something that is so intense, even if it is unhealthy?

'Cause all I wanna be is crumbling down with you
I would rather be destroyed with you than without you.

Now I gotta let you go
It is time for me to move on, even though it will be difficult.
