Rival hearted, spirit guarded, social tension
The fury of dissension is my
Defense mechanism, defense mechanism

Face to face
My premonition is indifferent to the dirt in my eyes
Found my place now, exiled
Free of all the fleeting ties
Suffer through the silence
I overpower violence
To channel disassociated wrath

Rival hearted, spirit guarded, social tension
The fury of dissension is my
Defense mechanism, defense mechanism

Fade to thrive
I'm growing tired of being fed steady ration of lies
Built your wasteland, now run
Cower as the ocean rise

Suffer through the silence
I overpower violence
To channel disassociated wrath
Born in their divide, ascend upon the tide
Sworn to a higher path

Rival hearted, spirit guarded, social tension
The fury of dissension is my
Defense mechanism, defense mechanism

Under the weight of our distance
I will define my truest aim

Rival hearted, spirit rise, social tension
The fury of dissension is my
Defense mechanism, ooh defense mechanism

Defense mechanism, defense mechanism
