The Animal

I'm alive when
I hit you now.
The crack of your bones
Stains blood that you throw.
Oh, Oh, Oh
And I'm a man
Who feels remorse
I looked on the mirror
See my face no more.
Oh, Oh, Oh
Relax your back.
Close your eyes.
Relax your pain.
And I'm gonna hit you now
And I don't know why, yeah.
And I'm gonna hit you now
And I don't know why.
Tell a lie
To hide the bruise.
You fell like a stone.
Spit blood on my shoes.
Oh, Oh, Oh
And I'm a liar
And I've been a thief.
I stole your good looks,
Threw them to the street.
Oh, Oh, Oh
Relax your back.
Close your eyes.
Relax your pain.
And I'm gonna hit you now
And I don't know why, yeah.
And I'm gonna hit you now
And I don't know why.
I'm the animal
Pass me the mineral.
Crack to your face.
Don't know why you do it.
Oh, Oh, Oh
I'm the animal
Pass me the mineral.
Crack to your face.
Don't know why you do it.
Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh
