There's an animal inside me
Where does it come from, where does it go
It comes to show me things and places
That I never thought I'd know
Why is it here, why do I fear it
When everyone I know comes near it
But they should keep their distance
Maybe it realised I was lost within the crowd
Maybe it heard me scream
Through a silence so loud
It knows the rules and still it breaks them all the time
So here I wait and don't know when I'll be that animal again
It came to me within a dream
A man I thought that I could be
A man with his own song
A man who could be strong
I let it in to fill the spaces in between
But it shut me out and from then on no difference could be seen
And what was left was broken promises
And memories in dreams
It may not change outside
Know that nothings what it seems
Maybe it realised I was lost within the crowd Maybe it heard me scream
Through a silence so loud
It knows the rules and still it breaks them all the time
It tricks me into thinking I feel better now and then
Oh wait, here comes the animal again
Hear me roar And watch me fall
