Animal

Damn, that's a lonely sound
calling from underground.
There must be a reason for fear,
so why did I end up here?

Who could be calling now
at the hour of my doubt?
It's animal instinct dear,
it told me the end is near.

The doctor who checked my eyes,
right before our goodbyes,
and just as my vision cleared
I thought "yeah, the end is near."

I just wanted to pay up, walk out, and drive on home,
instead I've got a question in my bones.

Is it ever enough?
Oh no, darling, don't ask why.
Will we ever give up?
Oh no! But see the apple in my eye.

My eye, my throat,
grows its seed and takes its hold, was it ever enough?
It was never enough.
Alive, afloat, and maybe now I know love is the animal.

I sat in the doctor's chair,
looked straight into the light.
I asked if he had a family,
and what was his aim in life?

He said we're all calling out
to have someone at our side
holding our bedside hand,
but we walk alone into that night.
We walk alone into that night.

We just pay up, walk out, and drive on home.
Brother, can you feel the one way road?

Is it ever enough?
Oh no, darling, don't ask why.
Will we ever give up?
Oh no! But see the apple in my eye.

My eye, my throat,
grows its seed and takes its hold, was it ever enough?
It was never enough.
Alive, afloat, and maybe now I know love is the animal.

We just pay up walk out and drive on home.
Brother, can you feel the one way road?

Is it ever enough?
Oh no, but see the apple in my eye.

My eye, my throat,
grows its seed and takes its hold, it was never enough,
it was never enough.
Alive, afloat, and maybe now I see
love's just an animal inside my throat.
Grows its seed and takes its hold, it was never enough.
Alive, afloat, and maybe now I know love is the animal inside.
