Brian Vaughn - Animal Lyrics

There is a chemical present in the air
I see it wavering in the space between our frozen faces
How can I hold this in?
I'm an animal
I am nothing like a man
Incoherent

That is not the way you would see things

This is an impulse. It is just the natural progression
Just two creature hiding from the cold
Oh but then feelings come and it's time to go...

The animal inside of me can smell the fear you think you're hiding
It's in our nature. There's no such thing as privacy
The state brought on by piss and your adrenaline gives you up
It puts me in the mood to kill again

But what's this other thing that reaches out?
When I am at my breaking point, it's only starting to awaken
If we're just animals, then what are all these dreams?
What are all these things that keep me pressing on?
And in the place I'm at, nothing's certain
If you wander when I'm coming back, I have no answers for you
I am still discovering what kind of animal will paint the sky or learn to sing
This is the key to things, I'm sure

So I sit here with these questions
All their answers, my obsessions

That would say it all, wouldn't it?
I always want the answers I can't get
I'll be straight with you my friend
Though I'm looking again, I see no light
So what is right?
I can't feel it inside

My mind wanders where my legs take me
Your assumptions
I feel numbness
Write me off
I'll bear witness
I'm done trying
God forgive me
