Empire of the Animal - Shallows

Hunter, hunted

Did you get what you wanted?

The only thing that’s not extinct is instinct

My eyes are open when I sleep

Human nature

Complacent, endangered

Pigs got you on your best behavior

I know your heart is growing weak

Feeling you is physical

In the empire of the animal

Things that I would never do

I do again and again, again to you

I can’t shake the beast out of me

I can’t pry your teeth out of me

Feeling you is physical

In the empire of the animal

I’m rabid, hungry

You’re static and ugly

Pheromones in the air are fading

Can’t you show me who you are?

Stuck in survival

Ascension is vital

Bare bones picked clean after the frenzy

You’re a scavenger at heart

You are what you eat and you are starving

You’re nothing to me when you are hiding

I’m just waiting to see if you survive me

Feeling you is physical

In the empire of the animal

Things that I would never do

I do again and again, again to you

I can’t shake the beast out of me

I can’t pry your teeth out of me

Feeling you is physical

In the empire of the animal
