[Intro] "At this moment when the fight, flight, freeze response kicks in, a number of physical changes automatically takes place in the body." Hand shaking still, and then Exhale to let it out Pupils dance, chest tight Drunk off the blood of Christ Break it down to 'when in doubt' Haven't reached the final form Injustice and that smirk It's why we turn to violence for Not a word spoken, fleed from a hero's pose Energy and self control Cowards doing what they're told Back down, fight song Rally and carry onward Won the battle thus the war Slain with a dull sword First-strike to coup de grâce Patience in a spider hole Endurance beating strength Recruited only lost souls Weaving webs catching pests Punching till there's putty left Eating while the meat is fresh Said 'fuck you' with their dying breath [Interlude] "The brain decides that the threat is something that might be successful fought off or something to run away from." Relax that neck There's a courage in the confidence Laugh at death We're here and then we're gone again Calfs tensin' Spring loaded, catapulted The dance begins We're off All victims of survival "Don't make me do this " Pacifisms rival They play for keeps Get smart and reliable Run or go limp But the choice is final Hoofs mount the precipice Wings and their arrogance Existence that we rent Demands you're talented Darwin make your bet Fueled when the panic sets A lethal game of tag They're starved they are 'it' [Interlude] "For humans, the freeze response occurs more as a last result when they are totally overwhelmed." Blank with a stare Nothing inside Frozen in place No plan The glint in your eyes Will give you away You're about to die Bracing for pain Deer in the road Feeling numb with a lump in your throat Intervention is so divine With the courage of an invertebrate Well, that's the short circuit strategy Dissociative armor proceeding the casualty The undefeated miss even when it isn't challenging Preserving energy till I run out of batteries Fight, flight and freeze its all the same Your bully is a coward, that runner is a fighter I just listen to my brain Fight, flight and freeze Fight, flight and freeze [Interlude] "The body gets the same boost of adrenaline that readies it for fighting or fleeing, but the brain has calculated at least for that moment, the best odds of survival come from taking no action at all."
