when the night closes around you you’re sure that something’s there you can see or smell or touch it but you feel it in the air You walk back to your room all the while looking behind That’s the animal inside you That’s the animal mind
a darkened street before you headphones in your ears in the corner of your eye there’s movement you turn to see more clear a racoon stares up at you and you’re frightened blind that’s the animal inside you that’s the animal mind
when you’re logic fails you and your senses grow the universe impales you on a tower made of i don’t know
you’re fast asleep and dreaming of some long forsaken place the door to your room is opened and you come rushing back through time and space an enemy to be defeated a lover being soft and kind that’s the animal inside you that’s the animal mind
there’s no window and no doorway in this room and i’m all alone not a soul to talk to in my mind a high pitched drone as i pace and i lose perspective one human being confined i am the animal inside me i am the animal mind
you can’t fight what you’re made of evolution’s slow and you will always be afraid of that tower made of i don’t know
