lyrics

Ain’t no vows upon my lips
I’m blessed with a grace that helps me forget
Everything I seek to claim
I hold in vain by its very name

ain’t no fractions of the hour
Just worried whims and a hope that devours
Every moment turning in on itself
Like a broken clock on a crooked shelf

And after years of dreamless sleep
this bodies member'n how it used to think
guided by a gut belief
driven by an old instinct

I am just an animal
That learned how to talk
and forgot how to walk on the ground
With my head bowed down beneath the sun
As we go round and round

ain’t no thoughts of suicide
Hampering my will to thrive
That doesn’t mean I’m happy being alive
But I’m holding out till the end of the ride

ain’t no idealistic dreams
Clouding up the way things seem
out in the desert there’s a castle of sand
I built it up with the palm of my hand

But I ain’t chasing no mirages
I dug a well underneath the stars
And you can share this cup with me
It’s filled with love from misery

I am just an animal
That learned how to talk
and forgot how to walk on the ground
With my head bowed down beneath the sun
As we go round and round

Maybe god is dead and life is decay
And we are the worms that are feasting away
On the earthly body of a heavenly host
That haunts my dreams like a holy ghost

Well I wake up in the morning with a burning shame
An indigested anxious pain
I taste the blood dried beneath my teeth
I feel the hollow underneath my feet

But I ain’t holding no regrets now
I said my penance and I paid my respects
There ain’t no priest or therapist
to absolve me of my ravenousness

For I am just an animal
That learned how to talk
and forgot how to walk on the ground
With my head bowed down beneath the sun
As we go round and round
