The Animal

Nah, nah Now I can feel the animal inside And my resolve is weakening Pounding at the doors of my mind It's nearly overpowering I cannot begin to describe The hunger that I feel again Run if you intend to survive For the beast is coming to life Taking form in the glimmer Of this tainted moonlight Death approaches on this night For the animal's soul is mine We will be completed right before your eyes I have no control this time And now we both shall dine in hell tonight I can hear it calling again The primal need is filling me Changes are about to begin And now my blood is boiling I can see the fear in your eyes But you can't bring yourself to scream Time to shed the mortal disguise For the beast is coming to life Taking form in the glimmer Of this tainted moonlight Death approaches on this night For the animal's soul is mine We will be completed right before your eyes I have no control this time And now we both shall dine in hell tonight We begin the hunt and I Feel the power course as the creatures take flight For the kill is close and I will be satisfied For the smell of fear tonight Wakes an ancient lust that will not be denied You're mine For the animal's soul is mine We will be completed right before your eyes I have no control this time And now we both shall dine in hell tonight For the animal's soul is mine And the world around will never hear your cries An unholy crime And now we both shall dine in hell tonight

Hey, Shane, how's life? I don't know, it's alright I've been dealin' with some things like every human being And really didn't sleep much last night I'm sorry, that's fine I just think I need a little me time I just think I need a little free time A little break from the shows and the bus rides Last year I had a breakdown Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost, gettin' too loud Had to see a therapist, then I found out Somethin' funny's goin' on up in my house Yeah, I started thinkin' maybe I should move out You know, pack my cart, take a new route Clean up my yard, get the noose out Hang up my heart, let it air out I've been searchin' What does that mean, Shane? I've been learning Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect Lookin' at the view, like this concerns me Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry And things might hurt me It's pro'ly gonna be a long journey, but hey It's worth it, though Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats It's been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code Pretty vivid, I admit it, I'm in classic mode Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone Talkin' down to me, I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it? Been makin' a whole lot of changes Wrote a song about that, you should play it I get scared when I walk on these stages And look at the crowd and see so many faces, like That's when I start to get anxious That's when my thoughts can be dangerous That's when I put on my makeup and drown in self-hatred Forget what I'm saying (I'm saying) Where'd the beat go? Whoa, ain't that somethin'? Drums came in, you ain't see that comin' Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin' Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach Throw it back up like I don't want it Wipe my face, clean off my vomit OCD, tryna push my buttons I said, "Don't touch it", now y'all done it I can be critical, never typical Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal Intimate, but never political, pretty visual Even if you hate it, I'll make it feel like you're in it, though You call me what you wanna, but never call me forgettable Leave you deep in thought, I could never swim in the kiddie pool Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, it's beautiful Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos (videos) Yeah, the sales can rise Doesn't mean much though when your health declines See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies Try to hold it underwater but it always survives Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies You don't relate to that? You must not be as crazy as I The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay? Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great You'll never be great, not because you're not, but the hate Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith I've been developin', take a look at the benefits Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it Take a measurement and bag it up and give me the evidence Pretty evident, dependable can never be tentative I'm a gentleman, depending on if I think you're genuine Pretty elegant, but not afraid to tell you to get a grip Proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate It's that time again Better grab your balloons and invite your friends Seatbelts back on, yeah, strap 'em in Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big On a road right now that I can't predict Tell me "Tone that down," but I can't resist Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, yeah

This world is big and wild and half insane Take me where real animals are playing Just a dirty old shack Where the hound dogs bark That we called our home I want to be back there Among the cats and dogs And the pigs and the goats On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm My animal home While I lay my head upon my pillow Little girl, come play beneath my window Though she's far from home She is free from harm And she need not fear She is by my side And the sky is wide So let the sun shine bright On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm My animal home Girl, it's a hard, hard world, if it gets you down Dreams often fade and die in a bad, bad world I'll take you where real animals are playing And people are real people not just playing It's a quiet, quiet life by a dirty old shack That we called our home I want to be back there Among the cats and dogs And the pigs and the goats On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm My animal home On Animal Farm Animal Farm
