lyrics

Like We're Animals

Relax, little wild
for the first time
in our lives we don't
need to run

See the truth of every threat headed our way
is they die alone if dying here today

so let them try to tear us apart
just let them try to tear us apart
we'll rip out the bastards' hearts

You're an immutable force that glides
with the ease of water
never altering course as you shine out
straight to me

And I guess, lyrically, I'm a wall
that no one can get over
that stretches out as far
as human eyes can see

And we don't need
to pretend
like we're animals
because we're people
and people kill just for love

so let them try to tear us apart
just let them try to tear us apart
we'll rip out the bastards' hearts
