APATHIST - The Animal Lyrics

Relenquish control

They say evolution's done
I say we've just begun
They say: put on your suit
And shine your shoes, you've gotta look nice
They think they've come so far
I know they're terrified
They think they pull the leash
And they can tame the beast within

Deep down, the blood boils over and over
Everything is red to you
Deep down, the lust runs deeper and deeper
You're not the only one to go through

I am the animal that lurks beneath the skin
Someday I'm gonna take control
Give me a reason to unleash the beast within
You need me to take control
Chance of containment seems rather thin
Do you think you have control
This is my hunting ground, the slaughter of kin
You're losing your grip on control

You feel too comfortable
I am untamable
You feel so safe inside
Don't realize the world burning around you

I bite, I scratch, I growl
I want out
I rip, I tear, I thrash
I want out

I am the animal that lurks beneath the skin
Someday I'm gonna take control
Give me a reason to unleash the beast within
You need me to take control
Chance of containment seems rather thin
Do you think you have control
This is my hunting ground, the slaughter of kin
You're losing your grip on control

Tear down these paper walls
Unleash your creature's call
You believe that you are steadfast
But the die is already cast

Like a wolf hunting its prey
I'm closing in on you
Oh, it's my pleasure to stay
The time has come to give me control

I am the animal that lurks beneath the skin
Someday I'm gonna take control
Give me a reason to unleash the beast within
You need me to take control
Chance of containment seems rather thin
Do you think you have control
This is my hunting ground, the slaughter of kin
You're losing your grip on control
