Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a part of me that's in disguise
Though I fight to see, it won't arise
I'd avoid your eyes, denying
Something dark and primal surviving
I have another side I try to hide
It cannot escape 'cause if it tries
There are defenses raised around it
For I chose to keep it surrounded
[Verse 2]
Gotta stay on guard always
Wanna keep my caveman hidden
Everyone has some off days
When we make bad decisions
Each man I've seen has some
Animal behavior in him
Some can conceal better
The male monster from the id
[Verse 3]
Got out, destroyed his cage
Saying thoughtless things in mindless rage
And I've seen him harm those I'm close to
With his charms he's so hard to see through
[Verse 4]
Gotta stay on guard always
Wanna keep my caveman hidden
Everyone has some off days
When we make bad decisions
Each man I've seen has some
Animal behavior in him
Some can conceal better
The male monster from the id
The male monster from the id
[Verse 5]
I hurt you, I'm sorry
And I promise I won't do it again
And I'm mending all my errors
I really am
[Verse 6]
But my Mr. Hyde, he lies and lies
It take a Superman to supervise
But imagine all the damage
If the hidden man that took lives
Forbid the planet survives
[Verse 7]
I'm not like that every day
I'm normally that way
You need convincing, I can tell
I don't say this very well
[Verse 8]
I'm sorry I hurt you
And I promise I won't do it again
I'm mending all my errors
I really am
[Verse 9]
The male monster from the id
The male monster from the id
The male monster from the id
The male monster from the id
