Lyrics Feral - Seeming

Next time let′s get raised by wolves

I was sharp as brambles
Strong as oak
When you killed my mother fox
She was twitching, mangled
Still in smoke
When you pushed me into your box
And then you taught me all your language and legends and laws
Then you sent me to a school, told me not to shout
Put a knife and a pencil in my champion claws
Your doctors poked in my ears and mouth

But I bare my teeth 'cause
Your talk ain′t my talk
And I bend my knees 'cause
Two legs ain't my walk

You can call me feral, call me wild
But don′t you ever call me son
I am running back to the trees tonight
And I can′t be the only one

We did the talk show circuit
I wore a suit
Yes I was groomed for the daytime crowd
They called me a foxhole hermit
They called me cute
How I made you captors proud
Until the vein on the neck of that TV hostess
Rushed like a river beneath spring ice
She asked my name, I said "I'm ferocious"
You dragged me away, sayin′ "just play nice"

But I bare my teeth 'cause
Your talk ain′t my talk
And I bend my knees 'cause
Two legs ain′t my walk

You can call me feral, call me wild
But don't you ever call me son
I am running back to the trees tonight
And I can't be the only one

I can see all that you overlook and I can hear
How the pace of your breathing is showing your fear
And the white of your eyes is the color of prey
But I ain′t gonna eat you, I′ll just get away
It's a horrid noise, listen to yourself
It′s a human glare, it's a human smell
It′s a city of rot, if you look and see
But I'll choke your plans for me

When I bare my teeth ′cause
Your talk ain't my talk
And I bend my knees 'cause
Two legs ain′t my walk

You can call me feral, call me wild
I am not your shining son
I am running back to the trees tonight
Running back to the trees tonight
Straight on into wilderness
And I can′t be the only one
