Facing the 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.
Sinking my teeth
into you
Sweet obscenity
You're in too deep
for your own good
I'm commanding thee
Succumb to me
set me free
Facing the animal
Walking the higher ground
Lost in a ritual
I close your eyes
and kiss you twice
Facing the Animal
The scent of your skin
Overpowers me
there is no remedy
It comes from within
the divinity
I just can't resist
Must admit
I'm losing it
Facing the animal
Facing the animal, yeah
Lost in a ritual
