Lyrics
[verse]
Tonight I crashed
On my bed
And I withered away,
I remembered how you preferred not to stay
And I passed away.
How do we get stronger?
We weren't taught it.
We were taught to be better animals
And rules don't apply to us anymore.
What is the game we play
And what's the cost?
I don't wanna hear you say
Who dies first.
[Chorus]
But I still want to be a better animal.
I am howling at the moon,
Your brutality's terrible.
I'm scared of seeing you so soon,
But you chase me down,
So now
I'm trying to flee,
But is there a chance for a free bird like me?
[verse]
It's like we're going to war,
But now we are pawns,
And I play you, you play me.
What are we fighting for?
The words I found won't be spoken aloud,
I can't reach my hand out from the ground.
With you here nothing seems that hard.
You are a lion to my heart.
[pre-chorus]
I wasn't taught it.
[Chorus]
But I still want to be a better animal.
I am howling at the moon,
Your brutality's terrible.
I'm scared of seeing you so soon,
But you chase me down,
So now
I'm trying to flee,
But is there a chance for a free bird like me?
[Chorus]
Your brutality's terrible.
I'm scared of seeing you so soon,
But you chase me down,
So now
I'm trying to flee,
But is there a chance for a free bird like me?
[bridge]
We are no better than animals
For you I would die first.
And when it comes to love,
We are the primitive savages,
But you're a lion to my heart.
[Chorus]
But I still want to be a better animal.
I am howling at the moon,
Your brutality's terrible.
I'm scared of seeing you so soon,
But you chase me down,
So now
I'm trying to flee,
But is there a chance for a free bird like me?
[instrumental outro]
I'm trying to flee,
But is there a chance for a free bird like me?
With you here nothing seems that hard.
You are a lion to my heart.
[end]
