Habit

A habit is simply not a need
Your choices, they have consequences
Traditions are not laws, you see
Your pleasure got at others expenses

Your choices, they have consequences
Out of earshot from their screams
Your pleasure got at others expenses
For you, the end justifies the means

Out of earshot from their screams
Life ending with a bloodied blade
For you, the end justifies the means
A too short life, always afraid

Life ending with a bloodied blade
All of the horror, paid to conceal
A too short life, always afraid
Your soon forgotten meal

Traditions are not laws, you see
A habit is simply not a need
