"Wild Animals" Lyrics

Wild Animals

Your robes are gray to deny the colors
A self was lost but made again
Little moments hang around forever
Like trying to scrub away the skin
It's always friends that hurt you so much
They know how to dig around inside

Wild Animals chew my carcass
My heart is plunged into darkness
Fish with fangs surround my body
Tell my family I am sorry

Fold my hands against the moment
This feeling's rising up again
I can't transform my pain and sadness
I don't know where I could begin
Running on, leaving no footprints

The sand it folds itself again

Wild Animals chew my carcass
My heart is plunged into darkness
Fish with fangs surround my body
Tell my family I am sorry

All this here is one and nothing
I sit behind this one thing still
The motion swirls on into madness
The fool he never leaves the hill
Ghosts are staring from the dormers
The walls are cracking at the corners
The basement's flooded to the stairs
And blood is pouring out my ears

Wild Animals chew my carcass
My heart is plunged into darkness
Fish with fangs surround my body
Tell my family I am sorry
