lyrics

I am an animal.
I come from the ocean, the uncharted waters
with the luckiest charm.
The crest of a shield on a world that is lost
and it's tattooed on my arm,
and I sing just for myself.

I'm here for the
dealers and boosters prowling for pussy
as if on command.
To tell them that they can't put the world on a chain
resting in the palm of their hand.
So let's all just sing a praise.

I'm a criminal.
Fight off your demons but first take a number
cause you are not yourself.
You've broken the waters and slopped up the tides
you may need some help
to get you through the day.

I am an animal.
I come from the ocean, your uncharted waters
I've got a charm.
The crest of a shield on a world that is lost
and it's tattooed on my arm,
and I sing just for myself.

Praise to those who start at the end
and who know the gift of a friend.
Praise to myself cause I am a shield
planting roots in the gutters that stretch out to fields.
Praise to this life although she's a bitch
even if she's bad and open and thick.
Praise to the lanes who go for me quick
I'll show you these words that's sick
