The Animal I Am

Trust breaks quicker than it's built
A tower crumbles, waves crash, blood is spilled
And I'm still not sure why it hurts when they tell me what, supposedly, I'm worth
That's just the animal I am

A cynic or a realist. Honestly I'm not sure which is which
My karma and my luck at war. Honestly I'm not sure who I'm rooting for
That's just the animal I am

Carry forward all the hate behind you
Pull out all your hair and grind your teeth
Every instinct telling you to flee now
The memories are written in your genes

That's just the animal I am

Waiting for the season's change as if the cold will make this go away
But the fever's stuck inside my bones. It's contagious, watch out, don't get too close
That's just the animal I am

Who am I to question this design?
Built from bitterness and endless time
Good luck pushing back against that inertia
Good luck even remembering the why

What kind of fucking animal now are you?
What kind of ugly thing have you become?
Throw it up and rub your fucking face in it
You've forgotten what it feels like to love anything

That's just the animal I am
