Lyrics
Look inside my eyes I am the animal

This new debauchery signals me to call I'm contemplating, do I waste my breath For I have sanctuary savored for a cause But you bite back and I hold back Just strike and you will see

Running into obligations over complications You're wasting my time Filling up an aggravation Now I can't stand by you There's another correlation from an observation You take away my home A place that I had known And flip it all around

Now I need to breathe My God, let me breathe!

Look inside my eyes I am the animal Unless you want to hear me roar I suggest you step back Underestimate the size of this cannibal I hold no bearings or chains Your blood sweat and tears will be all that remains I am the animal

You can't sway from me I'll form a colony

You can't sway from me I'll form a colony

Your whole economy fueled by misery I pose the question: is it worth my time For in this masquerade I'm filled by your dismay But I'll bite back, I won't hold back I'll take you to decay

Give another vindication And determination will feast their own eyes From a solidification That your blood will be mine Desolate improvisation, given absolution No method to my fight I fight for what is right And flip it all around

Now I need to breathe My God, let me breathe!

Look inside my eyes I am the animal Unless you want to hear me roar I suggest you step back Underestimate the size of this cannibal I hold no bearings or chains Your blood sweat and tears will be all that remains I am the animal

Oh my God... What have you done?

Never gonna be the psycho you want me to be I want you to see what I am to thee You take the claw from the four-legged creature in me Your blood's my victory I'm the echo in the darkest forest I am the weakness to your pitchforks and torches You took me way too far, I don't hold the scars After I'm done you'll wanna put me behind the strongest stone-cold bars

Now I need to breathe My God, let me breathe!

Look inside my eyes I am the animal Unless you want to hear me roar I suggest you step back Underestimate the size of this cannibal I hold no bearings or chains Your blood sweat and tears will be all that remains I am the animal

Look inside my eyes I am the animal You can't sway from me I'll form a colony Look inside my eyes I am the animal I'll form a colony

I am the animal!
