Animal

(album: MOJO - 2019)

Where did my filter go?
Language like an Eskimo
My words are really cold
But I never really mean them though

What the hell am I bitter for?
I need a new remote
Another episode
I cannot cage the animal

I've tried to
But I'm just too strong
If I'm not right
Well I can't be wrong
And I've tried to
But the leash is gone
And I carry on and on and on and on
I'm

Just an animal
It's all I'll ever be
Just an animal
For everyone to see
I'm just an animal
It's all I'll ever be
Just an animal
I'm lonely and I'm mean

It's strange how I feel
And I feel it all the time
It's strange but it's real
It's my mouth before my mind

I lose my patience
Anger gets contagious
Wish I'd realize words are weighted
No hesitation when I lose
Then I eat my words
Alphabet soup
I don't realize what they do
I just know they don't taste good

If I could see
Form your perspective
But if talk is cheap
Then apologies are expensive
Close my mouth and just listen
Maybe pay attention
I could try
But why?

Just an animal
It's all I'll ever be
Just an animal
For everyone to see
I'm just an animal
It's all I'll ever be
Just an animal
I'm lonely and I'm mean

It's strange how I feel
And I feel it all the time
It's strange but it's real
It's my mouth before my mind
