I Am the Animal Lyrics

by Iris

[Intro]

Look inside my eyes

I am the animal

[Verse 1]

This new debotury 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

[Verse 2]

I’m 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I need to breathe

My God, let me breathe!

[Chorus]

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'm the animal

[Post-Chorus]

You can't sway from me

I form a colony

You can't sway from me

I form a colony

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Give another vindication, your 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

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I need to breathe

My God, let me breathe!

[Chorus]

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'm the animal

[Bridge]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I need to breathe

My God, let me breathe!

[Chorus]

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'm the animal

[Outro]

Look inside my eyes

I am the animal

You can't sway from me

I form a colony

Look inside my eyes

I am the animal

I form a colony

I'm the animal!
