I try to overcome

the habit I've become

the voices in my head

singing to just give in

 

I try to overcome

transcend the fool I am

but I'm still an animal

no matter how free I try to live

 

I'm still an animal

 

I try to overcome

the past that brought me here

the future in my head

built from the worst of my fears

 

I try to overcome

another done me wrong

but I'm in the wake again

thinking that’s where I belong

 

I'm still an animal

 

Get free from myself... think of all we could be!

 

I'm still an animal

 

I try to overcome

when I should just let live

‘cause I'm still an animal

and I’ve got so much more to give!

 

I'm still an animal
