Animal

Shhhh
I like it quiet in my soul
So I can hear the earth turn below me
I am an enigma to myself
And simple to others
I think too much and say too little
I pour over and over words before they leave my head
My shadow is the only one
The only one that knows the things I've never said
All the things I've never said

I romanticise my past
To make it easier to carry
I'm charmed by every dream
And I follow like a fiend
The here and now is a place
Is a place that I've rarely been

The only time I believe in god
Is when you throw your hair back
And tie it high
The only time I believe in god is when you're
When you're driving me wild
Like an animal
Like an animal

I hang onto my hangs ups like cursed gold
A stubborn gambler that never folds
And in the avenues of my mind
I lose the truth from time to time
Running it down, running it down I get tired
I get tired
I lean into things that aim to kill
To catch a thrill but still the storms they echo
I've been a thousand men
I've lived and died over and over
Over and over, over and over
Searching and searching for the best me

The only time I love myself
Is when I'm in your stare stripped bare yeah
The only time that I love myself
Is when you're driving me wild
Like an animal
Like an animal
Like an animal

The here and now is a place I've rarely been

But you pull me in
The here and now is a place I've rarely been
But you pull me in
The here and now is a place I've rarely been
But you pull me in
The here and now is a place I've rarely been
But you pull me in
The here and now is a place I've rarely been
But you pull me in
