Living, Breathing, Animals
What are we waiting for?
Stable lives and daily bores?
We pay the toll till every sense is spent
In refrain I can't regret lament
Going out into the crowded city streets
Maybe someday we will meet
We're gone too soon in a fleeting greet
Passer byes and distant memories
I caught a glimpse of arousals hints
I'm rotating in and out of wits
I've tried too hard to be denied
I don't give a **** I'm rectified
I asked her out to a whiskey bar
It didn't take long for her to accept
Our ulterior motives might
Come from our different minds
But in the end they're the same tense
I take her home and we have some ***
We wake up with the new day
Just to do it all over the same
The tables full and I'm well fed
The plate is clear; living to dead
I'm replenished in their stead
Natures faction is instilled in my head
I'm off to the market place
To find out what the new taste takes
Some are spoiled, others are left to waste
A hunger grows within our mistakes
This is about the time the soul kicks in
The words grow long and they fall apart
Apathy towards a disregarded heart
Should have known some were rotten from the start
Some say this cannot be fixed
When water leaks it collects in drips
A damaged floor tends to give
Caving in; an over saturated sieve
The candles dwindled to a flick
In a pool of wax the wick sticks
We ran through the forest
We ran against the breeze
We ran across the Great Plains
We'll run until we're free
The search is almost over
Our keepers want to be kept
All else is good and nothing's perfect
As she slips back into my bed
She crawls up starting at my feet
Making her way into my head
Our stomachs are full
Our blood is un-bled
But still nothing's changed
She begins to twitch and call my name
She begs me to **** her again
The scene is almost exactly the same
But when she wants it so badly
Can I really be the one to blame?
We're living, breathing, animals
Living, breathing, animals
