Animal Urges

When I open my plastic account
It's a carpet of nails
Moving towards a result
That's a purchase on lay-away sale

Being broke on my own for a change
Makes me feel so much more
Than the comfort derived
From the couch I just bought in a store

We rest until
We rend and kill
The thing that brought us here
Results of being
Human beings
Prone to hate and fear

Make no mistake
These are animal urges
Make no mistake
These are animal urges
Make no mistake
Make no mistake

Spending time with the waters and
Colors that filter my brain
Staying with the primordial function
Until I've tamed
The reptilian darkness
That snarls and carries a sign
Of the primitive path
From out of the mud we've climbed

We rest until
We rend and kill
The thing that brought us here
These hearts are beating
Human beings
Prone to hate and fear

Make no mistake
These are animal urges
Make no mistake
These are animal urges
Make no mistake
Make no mistake

Make no mistake
These are animal urges
Make no mistake
These are animal urges
Make no mistake
Make no mistake

We rest until
We rend and kill
The thing that brought us here
Results of being
Human beings
Prone to hate and fear

Make no mistake
These are animal urges
Make no mistake
These are animal urges
Make no mistake
Make no mistake

Make no mistake
These are animal urges
Make no mistake
These are things that won't hurt us
Make no mistake
Make no mistake
