Animal Inside Me

There's an animal inside me
Begging for release.
There's an animal inside me
That's longing to be free.

So let me be your distraction.
Let me be your dream.
Come back to me...

I step out of my skin.
You wouldn't know me now.
I need
I crave
I surrender control.

We belong outside
You tell me we can't.
"You can't run loose tonight.
Someone is hunting for us."

The animal stirs from within.
I can feel it beneath my skin.
I stretch my neck
As the power evolves.

I wanted you before I even saw you.
I sensed you.
Did you sense me too?

Locked away together for the night.
Alone in a cage
Hiding from the moonlight
We begin to change.

I'm unsure of why it hurts so much now
As I'm so use to it.
My teeth grow.
My snout does too.
My claws could rip you to shreds.

Despite our transformations
My whole life I've never loved anything else.
From the beat of your heart
To the look of your eyes
To that wicked smile.
You are the one for me.

Our little animal lust
Doesn't make us ill.
To keep what's yours
Sometimes you have to kill.

The animal takes control
And we begin to fight.
I don't blame you.
It's the power of the moonlight.

There's an animal inside me
Finally it is released.
There's an animal inside me
That is finally free.

So let me be your distraction.
Let me be your dream.
Come back to me...
