The Animal Outside

One by one we go down
The screams the only sound
Those left behind will not survive
Doesn't feel good to be alive
Run and run until you fall down
Others seek safety on hallowed ground
Will I save you from imminent doom
Or hide myself in the boarded u room

Fangs like daggers, claws like machetes
To carve flesh from bone
Eyes like fires, tongue like a spear
To devour the soul

Choices to make, time to decide
Do we want to hear the secrets of your lies
Darkness of the heart reveals its regrets
It's the shame we all want to forget
So in the end it's just you and me
Who will be the bait, who runs free
We work together so no one dies alone
Betrayal all too common in the human heart of stone

Fangs like daggers, claws like machetes
To carve flesh from bone
Eyes like fires, tongue like a spear
To devour the soul
Never has enough, only knows the infinite
It hungers just for the hunt
Never happy, never satisfied
Who's the next to die

Finally it's my turn
My kindness not returned
My last sight is of you with a smile
You run away as I bleed out in style
So you made it out alive
With no witnesses to your crime
But you didn't know
There's more than one animal outside

Fangs like daggers, claws like machetes
To carve flesh from bone
Eyes like fires, tongue like a spear
To devour the soul
Never has enough, only knows the infinite
It hungers just for the hunt
Never happy, never satisfied
It's your to turn to die
