Animal Urges

When I open my plastic account

It's a carpet of nails

Moving towards a result

That's a purchase on lay-away sale

Being broke on my own for a change

Makes me feel so much more

Than the comfort derived

From the couch I just bought in a store

We rest until

We rend and kill

The thing that brought us here

Results of being

Human beings

Prone to hate and fear

Make no mistake

These are animal urges

Make no mistake

These are animal urges

Make no mistake

Make no mistake

Spending time with the waters and

Colors that filter my brain

Staying with the primordial function

Until I've tamed

The reptilian darkness

That snarls and carries a sign

Of the primitive path

From out of the mud we've climbed

We rest until

We rend and kill

The thing that brought us here

These hearts are beating

Human beings

Prone to hate and fear

Make no mistake

These are animal urges

Make no mistake

These are animal urges

Make no mistake

Make no mistake

Make no mistake

These are animal urges

Make no mistake

These are animal urges

Make no mistake

Make no mistake

We rest until

We rend and kill

The thing that brought us here

These hearts are beating

Human beings

Prone to hate and fear

Make no mistake

These are animal urges

Make no mistake

These are animal urges

Make no mistake

Make no mistake

Make no mistake

These are animal urges

Make no mistake

These are things that won't hurt us

Make no mistake

Make no mistake
