Instead
By Mark A. Garcia

All I feel now's elation as I'm entering a whole new world
Handed down by creation in the soul of a lonely girl
I stood I saw I tripped to the beat of a nation
I hid unknown got thrown at the top of the race and

I'm here & I'll be here again
I'm here & I'm gone with the wind
I'm here & it never will (end)
                       
Use the ground- share what's found
Then you will all be fed
Cut it down fire around
Then you will all be dead
Feed yourself instead feed yourself instead
Feed yourself instead

Some are entering a new phase; they would call it a brand new start
Some are drinking a new case; twist the cap then go twist a heart
They laughed they cried then lied at the foot of the glaciers
Stood trapped not tied unfazed by the stars darkened spaces

They're back to the gallows again
The gladiators wearing a grin
They're back from the valley of (sin)

Come around see the clowns
Then you will not be lead
Stand your ground forget the sound
Then you will all be dead
Heal yourself instead- heal yourself instead
Heal yourself instead. 
We stood in awe all tripping to the beat of the nation
Broke through it all clawing climbing to the top of our race (and)
We're here & we'll be here again
We're here & we're gone with the wind
We're here & it never will (end)

Touch the ground feel what's found
Then you shall hear what 's said
Tear it down wear a frown
Then you will all be dead
Teach yourself instead- teach

Come around reveal the clown
Then you will not be lead
Prayer it down
Wear a (thorned) crown
Then you will all be dead
Find yourself instead

Find yourself instead                      
Feed yourself instead
Heal yourself instead
Teach yourself instead
Find yourself instead
Feed yourself instead
Heal yourself instead
Teach yourself instead
Love yourself instead
Find yourself instead
Feed yourself instead
Heal yourself instead
Teach yourself instead
Find yourself instead
Feed yourself instead 
Heal yourself instead
Teach yourself instead
Find yourself instead

Use the ground share what's found then you will all be fed
Cut it down fire a round then you will all be dead
Come around see the clowns then you will not be lead
Stand your ground forget the sound then you will all be dead
Touch the ground feel what's found     love yourself instead
Come around reveal the clown then you will not be led
Prayer it down wear a thorned crown   
Find yourself instead
Feed yourself instead     
Heal yourself instead
Teach yourself instead  
Find yourself instead!
