IRIS (William Alex Ryan)
I’m the Animal
[Intro]
Look inside my eyes
I am the animal
[Verse 1]
This new debotury signals me to call
I'm contemplating, do I waste my breath
For I have sanctuary savored for a cause
But you bite back and I hold back
Just strike and you will see
[Verse 2]
I’m running into obligations, over-complications
You're wasting my time
Filling up an aggravation
Now I can't stand by you
There's another correlation from an observation
You take away my home
A place that I had known
And flip it all around
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I need to breathe
My God, let me breathe
[Chorus]
Look inside my eyes
I am the animal
Unless you want to hear me roar
I suggest you step back
Underestimate the size of this cannibal
I hold no bearings or chains
Your blood, sweat, and tears will be all that remains
I'm the animal
[Post-Chorus]
You can't sway from me
I'll form a colony
You can't sway from me
I'll form a colony
[Verse 3]
Your whole economy fueled by misery
I pose the question: is it worth my time
For in this masquerade, I'm filled by your dismay
But I'll bite back, I won't hold back
I'll take you to decay
[Verse 4]
Give another vindication
And determination will feast their own eyes
From a solidification
That your blood will be mine
Desolate improvisation, given absolution
No method to my fight
I fight for what is right
And flip it all around
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I need to breathe
My God, let me breathe
[Chorus]
Look inside my eyes
I am the animal
Unless you want to hear me roar
I suggest you step back
Underestimate the size of this cannibal
I hold no bearings or chains
Your blood, sweat, and tears will be all that remains
I'm the animal
[Verse 5]
Oh my God
What have you done
Never gonna be the psycho you want me to be
I want you to see what I am to thee
You take the claw from the four-legged creature in me
Your blood's my victory
I'm the echo in the darkest forest
I am the weakness to your pitchforks and torches
You took me way too far
I don't hold the scars
After I'm done you'll wanna put me behind the strongest stone-cold bars
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I need to breathe
My God, let me breathe
[Chorus]
Look inside my eyes
I am the animal
Unless you want to hear me roar
I suggest you step back
Underestimate the size of this cannibal
I hold no bearings or chains
Your blood, sweat, and tears will be all that remains
I'm the animal
[Outro]
Look inside my eyes
I am the animal
You can't sway from me
I'll form a colony
Look inside my eyes
I am the animal
I'll form a colony
I'm the animal
