Animal Fear

[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) [Verse 2] 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)
