Текст песни Animal Fear - Marika Hackman

I've been weeping silent like a wound
Won't you stitch me up
Or let the blood soak through?
Watching my world turn from white to maroon

Ignore my claws, look into my eyes
And convince us both
That I'll last through the night
I could land on my feet if I tried
I never jumped a chasm so wide
And made it to the opposite side

Even now as we are standing here
I can see the doubt in your eyes
I can smell the animal fear
(I can smell the animal fear)

Hold my body, trembling fur and tooth
I won't bite, or did I speak too soon?
Treacherous night that ignites the moon

And she calls my name, and I howl her tune
But the hunters slay
By the clair of the moon
I was raised with my face to the skies
But I was not a heavenly child
Savage with a temperament wild

Even here as we are standing now
I can see the fear in your eyes
I can taste the sweat on your brow
I can smell the animal fear

(I can smell the animal fear)
