Verse 1] I've been weeping silent like a wound Would you stitch me up Or let the blood soak through? Watching my world turn from white to maroon
[Pre Chorus] Ignore my claws Llook into my eyes And convince us both That I'll last through the night
[Chorus] I could land on my feet if I tried I never jumped a chasm so wide And made it to the opposite side Even now, as we are, standing here I can see the doubt in your eyes I can smell the animal fear (I can smell the animal fear)
Hold my body, trembling fur and tooth I won't bite, or did I speak too soon? Treacherous light that ignites the moon
[Pre Chorus] And she calls my name And I howl her tune But the hunters slay By the clair of the moon
[Chorus] I was raised with my face to the skies But I was not a heavenly child Savage, with a temperament wild Even here, as we are, standing now I can see the fear in your eyes I can taste the sweat I your brow I can smell the animal fear (I can smell the animal fear)
