I'm not
I'm not an animal
♪
Remember, they're locked and loaded
The emotion you had, try not to show it
They can't hurt you again, you know better than that
Now shape up, now it's time for your circus act
"Sing!" Then I sing
"Dance!" Then I dance
As long as you do me a favor and don't hurt me, "friend"
"Speak!" then I speak
"Defend!" then I defend
I don't know why I do this for you
You'll just hurt me again
(Repeat the cycle, repeat the cycle)
I won't stampede if you just hold fire
(Repeat the cycle, repeat the cycle)
But it's hard to believe
That you're a fucking liar
The lions, the tigers, the bears, oh my
Don't get too close, or I'll try to bite
It's what they say to get me to cry
And at this point, I think they're right
I kicked you out once
I kicked you out twice
But you apologized
And I'm the reason that you lied (That you lied)
But you threw me back into the cage again (Cage again)
And now you're back for blood
For my heart again
You shut me in and locked them out
You pointed at me to shout
"Look how you fucked up and everybody's had enough"
Then you wonder why everyday I go ballistic
It's not them, it's you
You're the reason I'm so
Animalistic
Animalistic

Then you wonder why my goals aren't realistic
It's not me, it's you
You're the reason I go
(Animalistic)
Well in all honesty
With all your promising
Is it sad that I'm glad that you lied to me?
You proved me right
All along I had to fight to prove you wrong
I had to try, and stay strong
Animal instincts are not to be messed with
So don't come back with your bullshit
(Repeat the cycle, repeat the cycle)
I won't stampede if you just hold fire
