Animals

I can run but I can't hide
I feel like there's an ache
There's something in my eye
Like a bird after its pray
A tiny parasite
You attach right next to my soul
I walked across the sky
The knife began to glow
And the darkness became light
Your palms' moist tonight
I got this stolen heart
I'm lying but I'm kidding
Like a stitch to pull apart
It will bleed but it's a game
You attach right next to my soul
I walked across the sky
The knife began to glow
And the darkness became light
Your palms' moist tonight
You attach right next to my side
I walked across the sky
The knife began to glow
And the darkness became light
You're like a bird in flames
You can run but you can't hide
I [?] the pain
On your way to paradise
Your palms' moist tonight
