Animal
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's always the same
I'm the only one who's always left to blame
Take what you can take
Hurt is your only idea of a game
To break away
I don't have that within me
And I'm not your prey
So I bite the hand that feeds me
When all you do is break me
And put me
You put me in a cage
When I look in the mirror
All that I see
A zoo animal that wants to be free
Just get away, get away from me
'Cause I'll never be who you want me to be
No
It's always the same
It's not easy to keep myself contained
Sit back and relax
How can I when I'm going down in flames?
'Cause all you do is break me
And put me
You put me in a cage
(Chorus)
Get away get away get away get away
(Chorus)
All you do is break me
And put me
You put me in a cage
When I look in the mirror
I just want to be free
Want to be free
I just want to be free
