An Animal

I did my time endless days and nights
I paid for my sins so I could come back
And sin again

I've seen the light burning hot and bright
It scorched my skin said "fuck that, "
And came back to sin again

Been running like a convict
Across state lines looking for answers
An easy way out an alibi

Free will for those who can afford it
The rest of us be damned free, I suppose
With help from your parents
But I can't change who I am

I've got twenty eyes on you
And no place to put my hands
I keep my secrets buried beneath us
Under deep soil and stone

Maybe God will save my soul
But in this world I'm an animal
With clothes on

An animal with needs
